In the last year, Oxfordshire libraries have run a research project in care homes and day centres. This has involved using the Pictures to Share books and recording the responses of users. The results have been excellent, and the project came second in a Health and Social Care Award in October 2010. If you want to know more about this project please contact Michelle on 01829 770024.

I do hope you will be publishing some more titles and will keep these 10 titles in print so we can buy more sets. One day centre manager said "these books help people to have a common ground and not feel so isolated by their illness." We can't share them fast enough with all the carers, day centre staff and care home staff in Oxfordshire.
