WHEN I went to visit a friend who was spending a few days as a patient in Northwick Park Hospital, it seemed natural, as I was in ‘foreign’ territory, to investigate the local library facilities. To anyone who passed their SRN finals in a non‐teaching hospital in the mid‐60's, and then discontinued nursing practice, the likelihood of finding a special library service for nurses would seem as remote as disposable syringes and the removal of rubber draw sheets from hospital beds.
