Books

Our library collections are relatively small, holding around 40 000 print books and reports. However, through our library catalogue you can request many more books held at other NHS libraries in the north east. If that is not enough, our Inter Library Loans and Book Request services allow you to request any article or book you need.

We also stock a small selection of Lighter Reading and books on a wide range of Health and Wellbeing topics. Go to Health & Wellbeing for further information
