Six Book Challenge 2015
12th January 2015 – Monday 29 June 2015
Would you like to get into the reading habit or improve your reading?
The Six Book Challenge is back! After another successful 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 Kidderminster, Redditch & Worcester Hospitals.
Just pop into your local health library to sign up and away you go.
Are you ready for the challenge?!
Worcestershire Health Libraries are pleased to inform you that our Acute Trust-wide subscription to UpToDate has been renewed until Dec 2015. Our subscription to Dynamed is also still active giving you access to two of the leading sources of continuously updated clinical evidence.
Access both UpToDate and Dynamed from the Clinical Systems page of the Acute Trust Intranet (no login required) or with your Athens account for offsite/mobile access.
If you haven’t already tried UpToDate and/or Dynamed to answer your clinical queries and help you keep up to date with the latest research please take a look.
Worcestershire Health Libraries would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year.

Six Book Challenge - 2014
Congratulations to the winners of our Prize Draws!
Presentations were held on the 4 hospital sites giving our local winners a voucher and a set of books, everyone who completed the challenge also received a set of books. The national prize draws took place at the start of July and unfortunately our readers were not successful in winning any of the prizes (always next year though!).
We would like to say a BIG thank-you to Worcestershire Public Libraries for loaning Fiction Collections to our hospital libraries and to purchasing our reading diaries and promotional material.
Those who kindly donated prizes: Tesco’s, Sainsbury’s and Morrison’s.
The Six Book Challenge 2015 will run from January – June 2015. Watch this space!
