With exams approaching and deadlines looming, our approach to reading may shift. Reading becomes focused, purposeful, and goal oriented.
During this intense period, the Library is here to support you, with study spaces, online resources, and an environment designed for focus. Whether you prefer silent study or collaborative revision, this is a time when the library truly comes alive with academic purpose.
But even amid this season, balance matters.
Taking short, meaningful breaks can improve concentration and reduce stress. Stepping away from revision for a while, even just for an hour or so, can reset your focus and help you return to your work more effectively.
Bookflix Display: 13th – 24th April
From 13th to 24th April, we’re inviting you to discover something a little different with the Library’s Bookflix Display.
This special display celebrates favourite books that made it to the big screen. Explore novels that inspired popular films and adaptations and see how stories transform from page to screen.
Alongside the display, you can also explore Kanopy, our dedicated streaming platform for university students. Kanopy offers access to a wide range of films, documentaries, and educational content, perfect for a well-earned study break or even as part of your course exploration.
Whether you’re curious about how a novel compares to its film adaptation or simply looking for a relaxing way to unwind after revision, The Library’s Bookflix display offers the best of both worlds: reading and viewing.
