Looking after our wellbeing is always important and Wellbeing Week is a chance for us to highlight some of the ways we can do this. Wellbeing Week will take place between the 26th February to 1st March. A lot is happening both on campus and online; check out the website for all the details.
See below for some activities taking place in the Library.
Room to Recharge
We’ve created a dedicated space where you can take a break away from your work in order to recharge and refresh. The area is equipped for mindfulness, quietly relaxing, or browsing the many wellbeing resources available. Within the space, you’ll find comfy seating, cushions, blankets, and an assortment of materials designed to enhance your sense of wellbeing. You will also find the library’s collection of books on the topic of health and wellbeing. Most importantly, you can relax and enjoy the views of our beautiful campus. The Library Wellbeing Space is located on level 2 next to the Short Loan Collection.
Wellbeing Reading List
Take a look at our Wellbeing Reading List, including a list of mood-boosting fiction books, or pop into the library to browse some of the collection on our book display (near the library entrance) or in the wellbeing space.
The library blankets are back!
Keep yourself warm and cosy while studying and borrow a blanket from the box at the library entrance.
Puzzle it Out
The library jigsaw is back! Take a break and help us complete our jigsaw. Immersing yourself in a jigsaw puzzle can serve as an exercise in mindfulness and help relieve stress. Jigsaw puzzles are a great meditation tool as they allow you to focus on just one thing. Quieting the constant demands for your attention by engaging in a single task can put your mind into a meditation-like state. The library jigsaw can be found on level two of the library near the main entrance.
Bring a Book. Take a Book.
Pop into the library to bring a book and take a book from our book swap bookcase. The book swap is also a great way to save money, recycle old books and read new ones. The book swap is located in the Library Wellbeing Space on level two next to the Short Loan Collection.
Virtual Library Wellbeing Space
Take a break to relax and refresh in our Virtual Library Wellbeing Space. Download one of our colouring sheets or complete one of our virtual jigsaws.
