Look after yourself this Stress Awareness Month
One of the best ways to get a good night’s sleep is to establish a regular bedtime routine. Switching off screens, stretching, having a warm bath, and reading for pleasure for a few minutes are all excellent ways to wind down, release tension and let go of the concerns of the day. Of these, reading for pleasure is good for you! Reading for pleasure for just 30 minutes a week is associated with increased life satisfaction, self-esteem, better sleep, creativity and happiness, perhaps because it reminds us of our common humanity and reconnects us everything we are.
Public library popping up on campus
The tuk-tuk on campus - come say hello when it next visits!
Looking for fun fiction and pleasure reading? The public library tuk-tuk truck is visiting the campus twice in two weeks!
The public library offers a vast collection of fiction and popular nonfiction that goes far beyond what is taught at the University and therefore is beyond what the University Library can hope to offer. If you love listening to audiobooks (fact and fiction), browsing digital magazines (do check out our PressReader app as well!), and reading fiction in print or downloading novels to read on your ebook reader, you will love the free collections available from your local public library.

They would love to meet you, and we feel sure you would love what they have to offer!
