All you need to do to read these magazines is collect your special OpenAthens password. Come and ask for it in the Learning Centre on the 2nd floor.

Libraries Week

Starting 7th October, it’s Libraries Week

We are joining in – the INTO Manchester LRC/ library celebrating the value of these great places

We have our library tree in the LRC– add leaves with the names of your favourite author to share with others.

Every student who adds a leaf gets a chocolate in celebration.

We are lucky in Manchester to have great public libraries to help us with our education– so we are raising money this Libraries Week for Intogiving, our charity that helps those who cannot afford study. Buy one of our special library badges during this week, only £1, money straight to Intogiving
