New library books
The Bodleian Health Care Libraries recently launched a new monthly series highlighting some their latest acquisitions. You'll find these new arrivals on display in the Cairns Library book room at the John Radcliffe Hospital. June's Pride-themed selection is all about LGBTQ+ health, covering LGBTQ+ and dementia, LGBTQ+ mental health, and treating trauma in trans people. All these books are available for readers to browse or borrow. Find out more by visiting the Science and Medicine blog.
