We’re thrilled to announce the launch of Library ‘Lights — a fresh new podcast from the NHS Somerset Knowledge & Library Service, designed to shine a spotlight on the stories, services, and people that make our library community so vibrant.

Whether you're a staff member or student at Somerset Foundation Trust, this podcast is for you!

🎧 Episode 1: Rooted in Care – Sustainability at SFT

Our debut episode features a conversation with Isabella Fisk, Facilitator of the Sustainability Working Group, as we explore what sustainability looks like across SFT. From green spaces to the launch of our new Seed Libraries, Isabella shares inspiring initiatives that support both the environment and wellbeing.

We also highlight how your library team is here to support your learning, professional development, and mental wellbeing — with resources and services tailored to your needs.

🌱 Seed Libraries: Growing Wellbeing at Work and Home

In addition to launching our podcast, we’re excited to introduce Seed Libraries at both of our library sites — located in the Academies at Musgrove Park Hospital (MPH) and Yeovil District Hospital (YDH).

Whether you're cultivating green spaces at work or at home, you're welcome to pick up a packet of seeds to grow. This initiative is a collaboration between the Library Service and the Sustainability Working Group, aimed at promoting wellbeing, environmental awareness, and a little joy through gardening.

Got seeds to share? Drop them off in the seed library box at either library — we’d love to keep the cycle growing! We also have a few plants looking for new homes, generously donated and potted by our library team. If your desk could use a little greenery, come adopt one!
