Accessing online resources
Recreational reading
As well as books and resources for your course, we support you with our fiction, recreational and wellbeing collections.
You can find most of these books on display on levels 1 and 5 at the Abdus Salam Library, as well as at the campus libraries, and as e-books and audiobooks. We also hold displays and events throughout the year highlighting various aspects of our collection.
For recreational materials on the go, the Libby app from Overdrive is a great resource for downloading e-books and audiobooks to your phone or tablet and you can suggest new titles if we don't have the book you want.
