Membership Dues
As we prepare to send out our Hospital Grant Proposals for the coming year, we are reminding all our HLSP member libraries that we cannot issue the grant checks to you until your membership dues have been received. If you have questions in this regard, please contact Molly at

Annual Hospital Library Grants and Proposals
|
In the next two weeks, we will be sending your individual grant amounts and proposal forms for the coming year. The forms will include the dollar amount of your award. Please make sure to read through the information you receive as to what you may use your grant allowances for (items specific to assist your hospital library). Should you have any questions in regard to what they can be used for OR any general information regarding the grant itself, please contact Molly at
mbrown@scrlc.org

Molly is currently setting up individual field visits with member hospital libraries. An in-person field visit is required of all member libraries once a year. If you have not already made arrangements with Molly, please contact her at
mbrown@scrlc.org
, to set up a visit for your hospital. An email with the site visit form was sent to each member library to allow you to think about how we can better serve you in the coming year. You do not need to fill this out prior to the visit. Molly will do this when she comes to your hospital.

SCRLC HLSP survey for hospital practitioners, nurses, administrators, allied
health, and residents
SCRLC is conducting a survey of all HLSP member hospitals to better
understand how we can improve services to our hospitals.
We have finalized the questions and will be sending all our hospital librarians and liaisons the Survey Monkey link as well as a PDF version (to print out, if hard copies are better for your patrons). We ask that you share it with your hospital practitioners, nurses, administrators, allied health, and residents either via your intranet or print versions.
The survey will close on Friday, September 13.
We hope the responses will help us to better serve your hospital, as well as to show the value of the work each of you do. For questions, please contact Molly at
mbrown@scrlc.org
. If you are using paper surveys, please send them to Molly on the 16th of September so that she can include them in her analysis.
