Festive Treat Giveaway (1-5 December)

Festive Chat With Us (Tuesday 2 December - 2pm-3.30pm)

For WellBEEing Week, our weekly Chat With Us session will have a festive twist - you'll be able to enjoy hot chocolate and festive treats while you chat to one of our team and ask us anything about the Library. 

You can pop in to see us between 2pm-3.30pm - we'll be on the sofas next to the laptop lockers on Level 2.
