This project was one of the first joint projects undertaken by the current executive of FCC and it has been seen to be quite successful by all concerned. One advantage of having the library become a part of the hospital structure is that the books are cataloged with the medical library of the hospital and this has opened up a door whereby parents looking for a book which is in the main hospital library can be helped to gain access to it. There are four copies of each of the books in the FCC collection and one remains a reference copy which cannot be taken from the library. This pilot project may serve as a model for other programs at the hospital which may develop similar resources with the assistance of parent groups. Following is a listing of some of the books FCC has purchased for the Parent Resource Library.
