Happy Nurses Week!

Nursing Week in the Library (May 12-16)

Calling all nurses! To help celebrate Nurses Week, and Florence Nightingale's birthday, the library will host a special display of books. Please drop by anytime, and have a look.

All nurses are eligible to enter in a draw for a book written by Flo herself! A replica of the original "Notes on Nursing" will be the prize at the end of the week.

Remember: Nurses working evenings, nights, and weekends will be able to check out the display, and enter their names for the draw. After-hours access is available to all staff by paging security.
