On Thursday, February 20th we had 14 attendees join us for MLGSCA’s Tour of the Mayo Clinic Phoenix Campus Libraries. The group included members, prospective members, and a student! The tour began at Building 1, which houses the Mayo Clinic hospital and one of two Staff Libraries.
The new Phoenix Campus Staff Library opened in April 2023. Staff have 24/7 badge access to this popular space which also includes several collaboration rooms. 
It was a beautiful afternoon to do the 2 mile round trip tour of all three campus libraries!
Our second stop was at the Patient Library and Research Center, found in Building 3. Sydni Abrahamsen explained how this is one of Mayo Clinic’s two Patient Libraries in Arizona that with a Consumer Health focus that offer reliable health information to patients and community members.
This antique ambulance, purchased by Will and Charlie Mayo, is found in the lobby of Building 3, directly across from the Patient Library.
We ended at the Integrated Education and Research Building, which now houses our Learning Resource Center, the library serving the College of Medicine and Science.
Students have access to a Sectra table to study anatomy.

The day ended with a fabulous dinner at White Chocolate Grill. This was a great group and we're looking forward to planning our next MLGSCA AZ outing!
