This week's Spotlight in the Learning Resource Centre will be on our Wellbeing Collection.
The Wellbeing Collection is located at the back wall of the library, between Fiction and Magazines. We have created this collection as a source for students, and even staff, to have access to books about:
Mental Health, Everyday Life, Emotions, Life Hacks, Body Health, Study Tips, Identity, Mindfulness, General Advice, Friendships.
Everyone is most welcome to borrow the resources. And if you need them for longer than the usual three-week loan, we can organise that without issue. Titles include:
The Tribute by 
The Last Thing He Told Me by #LibraryLoversDay
Remember the wonder you experienced when you first discovered something as a child? Maybe it was an idea, a place in nature, new understanding, or the pure joy of becoming lost in a new imaginary game for hours.
This feeling of childlike joy is the feeling that we're encouraging people to remember this Library Lovers' Day through the theme: 'Show the love'.
It's a day to remember that our libraries are a place where we can get lost in an idea we are following, find an adventure we are seeking in a book, discover more about an issue we feel passionate about or get help from someone about something we want to know. These are all the reasons (and more) to celebrate the valuable roles libraries play in our lives and to re-engage with our libraries and 'show the love'.
