A new £1.4m library and arts and heritage space in the centre of Lichfield will open in December.
The investment in the former St Mary’s Church has opened up the ground floor to accommodate the library and tourist information centre, while the first floor will include a versatile gallery, heritage and performance space, as well as an access point for digitised archive collections.
We’ve put together a reading list of useful material such as books, journal articles, educational board games, and websites to help you meet the requirements of each of the 15 areas.
The library is signing up to the Reading Agency’s Reading Ahead scheme on behalf of the Trust. If you or a colleague or team member wishes to build confidence in reading, sign up to the scheme by contacting the library. It aims to develop a love of reading and improve reading skills by motivating less confident readers to read six books of their choice by next summer.
As part of #Knowvember a campaign to promote Knowledge Management awareness, A Randomised Coffee Trial is being organised in the Trust. Email the library at rjah.library@nhs.net to take part.
