World Book Day 3rd March: Book Swap

Got any old textbooks you don't want?  Want to read something new?  

Come to Western Bank Library on Thursday 3rd March, and help us celebrate World Book Day with our first ever Book Swap.  

Bring your old books and swap them for something new, or just help yourself to the second hand books available.  There will be everything from textbooks to novels, and whilst you don't have to swap a book to take one, the more you bring, the better it'll be. 

The Book Swap runs from 10:00am - 2:00pm upstairs in Western Bank Library and it would be great to see you there!

Help us spend £50,000 on new books

Are you a student at the University? We've set aside a whopping £50,000 for new books, and we need your help to spend it.

From 9am on Monday 22 February, you can fill in an online form telling us which books you think we should buy. The form is for ordering new titles. If you think we need more copies of a current title, let us know via the Get It tab on StarPlus.

We’re expecting the cash to go fast – so act quickly! Find out more about our My Books campaign and get spending.
