Health and Wellbeing Spaces in Health Libraries

Abstract

I presented at the 2025 HLA conference, talking about the SCHN Wellness Space, including the ways we set it up on a minimal budget and the positive feedback we’ve received. Rather than writing a recap of that presentation, I put a call out to other heath libraries to gather information on their spaces. Although not a comprehensive list of all wellbeing spaces across Australia, I hope this summary of what some hospitals are doing might spark new ideas for all of us and provide a bit of inspiration!
