Club Rainbow has a small library in our Rainbow Care and Resources Centre (RCRC) at the fourth level of the National University Hospital. Parents of Club Rainbow, you are encouraged to read these books which will help you manage your child's condition better. For a list of the available books, please click on the link below. If you need further assistance, please call the RCRC on 6774-1148.
