Look after yourself this winter

 Make sure you take care of yourself this winter. Here are a few ways the Health Library can help.

Reading Well Collection

Curl up with a book and immerse yourself in a story. We have a collection of mood-boosting fiction books to help you to unwind. There are also poetry collections to inspire and amuse you. Or try one of our self-help books to support your own mental health.

Borrow these from our reading well collection. You can browse the collection in the library or take a look at the titles available via Library Search.

Wellbeing Area

You can also take a moment of mindfulness in our wellbeing area. There are jigsaws and colouring books to try or just take a little you-time in a comfy chair.

Nursing final year placements - loaning items

If the next few weeks you are embarking on your final placement before graduating: You are welcome to continue to loan items from the library, but please be aware that normal loan periods will still apply. Items may be requested by another user and recalled. Late return of requested items will still incur fines. Automatic renewals will run as normal, but if you wish to try to avoid having an item potentially due for return at a time when you really cannot come in, you can attempt to renew your books early via you account on Library Search. All items must be returned and any outstanding fines paid before you graduate.
