The Library’s Summer Sessions programme of drop-in Wednesday lunchtime activities for staff and postgraduates begins on Wednesday 15 July.

These events are weekly and run until Wednesday 19 August. They run from 12.30-1.30pm and take place in the Library Nook unless otherwise stated. The Library Nook can be found at the back of Level 2 (the entrance floor) of the Library. Please join us for:

• Mystery Summer Reads (15 July): Looking for your perfect match for summer? Take a chance in a blind date with a book! Drop by the Nook to take your pick from our mystery reads.
• Silent Bookgroup (22 July): Bring your own book or choose one from the Nook and get comfy for reading hour! No assigned reading, no pressure.
• Genre Tasting Menu (29 July): Stuck in a reading rut? It happens to us all. Come along to get a taste for some of our recommended reads across different genres. You might find a new favourite!
• Reading by the Lake (5 August): Summer = peak alfresco reading season*. Bring your own book or choose one from the Nook (we’ll have a selection available by the lake on the day!) Picnic blankets will be provided. *Weather permitting! Should the British summer do its worst, you’ll find us in the Nook.
• Reading Quiz (12 August): Test your literary knowledge with our fun reading quiz! Pick up a question sheet from the Nook and, once you’ve filled it in (no cheating! 😊), return it to us for a chance to win a prize.
• Board Games (19 August): Discover our boardgames! From Codenames to Exploding Kittens, pick a classic or try something new. Play with friends in the Nook or choose a game to take home!
