The wellbeing collection is located at the back of the library, and we have books on a range of topics including mindfulness, managing stress, emergency poetry, overcoming perfectionism, and much more. These books can be borrowed either at the issue desk or by using our self-service machine with automatic renewals. You can check out our wellbeing collection in person at the back of the library, or through our online collection.
There is also a suggestion box for those who wish to make recommendations for this collection. Books can be recommended anonymously using one of the slips next to the box.
Paper copies of leaflets from the counseling service are also available online for download.
Fiction Collection
We have a small fiction collection, which is an opportunity for you to relax and unwind away from your studies. This collection can be found on the right as you enter the main library.
Book recommendations can be made for any collection by using our book suggestion form which can be found on the main library homepage.
Taking a break from your study
On the third floor of the raised faculty building above the Philosophy Library is the Old Library which can be used as a social space to take a break from your studies.
