We’d like to wish you a warm welcome from all the staff here at UoR Library!

If you’re wondering about how to use the Library and what’s available, we have a variety of events planned for you all week, and information to help you settle in:

New student Libguide

This is an online guide telling you about the library including useful videos, answers to questions, where to get help and all our welcome week events.

Introducing your library

We are running tours Monday – Friday, every 30 minutes from 10:00 – 15:00. No need to book, just meet in the Library foyer.

Self-paced tours

We know there’s a lot going on right now!  So if you want to just take things slowly, at a time that suits you, we’ve created a self-paced tour for you to go through online.  Or you can pick up one of our handy expandable maps in the Library, to take a look around the building yourself.  Or check out our Instagram to watch our reel that shows you around!

Special Collections

Come along to make yourself a badge and find out about the University’s Special Collections – in the Library foyer 11:00 – 14:00 on Tuesday.

Mystery Books

On Tuesday and Wednesday we will have a selection of Mystery Books you can borrow. Library staff have recommended some great reads from our collection. We’ve mixed them up and hidden them in bags, so it’s like getting a blind date with a book!  Come by, pick up a bag and find something new to read!

The Legendary Library Escape Box Challenge

On Thursday between 12:00 – 16:00 we will be running a library themed escape challenge. Come along as a team, or drop by and we can put you in a group with some new friends!  Meet in the Library foyer.

If you join in with any of our activities don’t forget to let us know on social media!  You can find us on Instagram and YouTube.
