Starting university is exciting, overwhelming, and full of questions. That’s why we’ve created a special Welcome to University book display near the library entrance to help you settle in, find your feet, and feel supported from day one.
Whether you’re wondering how to manage your time, make friends, or simply survive your first essay, we’ve got books that cover:
- Study skills and academic success
- Wellbeing and resilience
- Student life and belonging
You can also explore our online reading list for even more recommended titles to support your university journey – accessible anytime, anywhere.
Graffiti wall – level 3 stairwell
We’re also inviting you to share your wisdom! On Level 3, you’ll find our Graffiti Wall asking:
“What advice would you give your first-year self?”
Knowing what you know now, what advice would you give? Leave a message for our new students on our graffiti wall. Write, doodle, or scribble your thoughts – your words might just help someone else feel a little less alone.
Library & IT bingo
Want to explore the Library and discover all the library and IT support available to you? Pick up a Library & IT Bingo card from the library and complete fun challenges like finding a group study room, logging into a PC, or borrowing a book. Return your completed card to the lending desk in the library for a small prize!
More welcome fun in the library
Look out for library tours, library jigsaws, and even a slow chess game. We’re here to help you feel at home.
Welcome to Stirling. You’ve got this 💚
