Your new library: a very brief introduction
Many people find the University Library a little offputting. Perhaps it is the sheer scale of the building compared with the broom cupboard type libraries most students are used to at school or the vast array of print and electronic resources on offer but many people just don’t know where to start.

Celebrating children’s stories from South Asia
The first Outside In World drop-in and storytime was a great success. Several families joined us to celebrate South Asian Heritage Month and explore the collection of children’s books from around the world and explore the world of illustration with two of our MA Illustration students and aspiring children. Everyone got to take part in the colouring exercise or read fascinating children’s books from around the world, followed by the storytime with another of our students. Sign up and join us for the next one on the afternoon of Friday 9 August!
