Reading for pleasure

We have a collection of reading for pleasure resources available for you to use through the library. Reading for pleasure can positively benefit your mental health and wellbeing. We also run events relating to our reading for pleasure initiative.

Our collection

Use library search or our reading lists to choose an item, and request to collect it from the campus of your choice. We also have displays of topical and new books across our libraries, ask at the help desk if you would like a staff member to show you where to find these.

Book clubs

We run book clubs both online and in-person for UWE Bristol students and staff, everyone is welcome to join.

Our book clubs run throughout the academic year and cover history months, genres and moods. Pick a book from your own collection or borrow something that interests you from the Library. You can read as much or as little as you like and come along for the company and conversation.
