We welcome the opportunity to support our library community's wellbeing in a number of ways.
We provide a selection of mindful activities such as colouring, orgiami and puzzles, as well as highlighting awareness weeks of importance to our community with informational and interactive displays.
We also have two borrowable book collections - "Wellbeing" and "Reading for Pleasure".
Wellbeing collection
The Wellbeing collection covers topics like cooking, LGBTQ+ education, exercise, activism, and coping with emotions and stress. If you'd like to suggest a book for us to add to the collection, please contact the LaSS library team.
Reading for Pleasure collection
The Reading for Pleasure collection is a selection of novels and biographies chosen to encourage users to take time out to read for their own wellbeing, not just for their study or research goals. The Reading for Pleasure collection has been created from the kind donations of staff and students, if you'd like to donate a book to the collection, please contact the LaSS library team.
Find the collections in Explore
To browse these collections in the library catalogue, Explore, choose Advanced search and then type 'reading for pleasure' or 'wellbeing' and choose 'shelfmark' from the search filter drop down menu.
You can then choose to filter your results by using the 'Language and Speech Science Library' filter from the menu on the left hand side, or you could choose items from other libraries' wellbeing collections too!
