NEW STAFF MEMBER ALERT! Hi, I’m Emmett (they/them) and I’m the newest Library Service Advisor! I love books (funnily enough) and in my spare time I do live action roleplaying and play a lot of board games/tabletop roleplaying games. Come and say hi!

And that's a wrap! Just some of the highlights from 2023. A big thank you to all of the library staff, as it wouldn't be possible without every single one of you. We wish all our staff, students and followers a very Merry Christmas! See you in 2024 🎅
