Hello and welcome to all our new students and welcome back to our continuing students. We hope you enjoyed your holidays!

We’d like to let you know that Library Orientation talks for new students are running at all campus libraries. Sessions on how to use our many databases, our online catalogue and other resources are also available. These sessions may be useful to continuing students too. Sessions are usually booked by your class teacher, but you can also request an individual session. Just ask Library staff at your local campus….

Most campus libraries allow continuing students to borrow over the vacation period. The chilly winter weather is perfect for curling up in a warm, cosy spot and reading a book (or studying, of course!). See below for suggestions from Newcastle Campus Library for some great holiday reading. 

Truth by PePeter Temple Truthter Temple
Over the course of a few sweltering summer days, Inspector Stephen Villani finds all the certainties of his life are crumbling. Truth is a novel about a man, a family, and a city, violence, love, murder, honour and deceit. And it is about truth.
