Lending Library

The Spina Bifida Family Network sponsors a Lending Library that is for the use of families who visit the Spina Bifida Clinic at American Family Children's Hospital in Madison, Wisconsin. The Library cart is available during clinic and is monitored by Julie Olson, R.N., Spina Bifida clinic coordinator.  There are books on many topics that we felt would be of interest to families of children with spina bifida.  We have periodically received donations of books in multiple copies. . . check the bottom shelf of the book cart for boxes labeled "Free" or "Take One".

Following is a list of books that have been purchased for the Lending Library Book Cart.  Please be aware that at any given time the book may be checked out.  If you know of a book that may be of interest, please let us know!  E-mail our librarian here.
