Academic Libraries North collaborative project

"Where do you find information for your assignments?"

This was the question two of our librarians asked some of our students in spring 2024. We gathered feedback on the simple question which yielded intriguing results.

Thank you to all of our students who helped!

Nursery children visit the library for World Book Day 2024

To help us celebrate World Book Day, children from the University Nursery visited our Family Study Room to listen to stories and have a tour of Floor 0.

The children borrowed a book using our self-issue machines and gave them back via the book return machine on the Learning Mall. They received a certificate and colouring sheet for doing so!

Read more about the visits and the Family Study Room on the University's news pages.

See the world through the lens of poetry

"Join us in the University Library as we set sail on a poetic adventure, where every stanza is a window into a different corner of the world. Poetry, a universal language, invites us to immerse ourselves in the rhythms, imagery, and emotions of cultures far and wide.

As we use the One World Week to celebrate the boundless creativity and imagination of poets across cultures and time periods, we will uncover the universal truths and timeless insights that unite us as human beings through the power of language and metaphor.

So, grab your metaphorical passport and join us on Wed 28 Feb 2024 from 13:00-14:00 for this exhilarating journey of discovery and delight. You will have the chance to write a stanza in your own language and pin it on the board."

This event was organised and promoted by the Library Student Event Coordinators who volunteer for the library.
