CHARTING CONSUMER HEALTH (Michele A. Spatz, Column Editor)

The Healing Library Environment

Pages 67-74 | Published online: 08 Sep 2008
 

Abstract

Simple, inexpensive changes in the consumer health or hospital library environment can create a “healing space,” a place where nature, music, art, and light contribute to the support and well-being of patients, families, and hospital staff. Evaluate the reference desk of the library to make it more approachable and friendly. Strive to serve the emotional and spiritual needs of users as well as their informational needs.
