Six Book Challenge is back...!

Six Book Challenge 2014

Would you like to get into the reading habit or improve your reading?

The Six Book Challenge is back!  After the success of last year the Worcestershire Health Libraries are running the Reading Agency’s Six Book Challenge again.  The Challenge invites you to pick six reads and record your reading in a diary in order to get a certificate and the chance to enter both a national prize draw to win a trip to London or Kobo e-readers as well as local prize draws.                              

You can read anything you like in print or online - books, magazine articles, websites, whatever suits you.

To get you started, Worcestershire public libraries have loaned a community collection of titles to the health libraries at Worcester, Evesham, Redditch & Kidderminster Hospitals.

Just pop into your local health library to sign up and away you go.

 

Are you ready for the challenge?!

20^th January 2014 – 30^th June 2014

PCs Unavailable Thursday 9th Januray 2014

 

Please note that all lower level computers in the Rowlands Library will be unavailable on 9th January 2014 between 8am and 5pm.

Computers on the upper level will still be available throughout the day.

The reason for this is that we are working with the IT trainers to ensure that new staff members are familiar with IT packages as soon as possible. Trust Induction attendees will be using the lower level PCs for training on IT systems on that day. 

We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
