It's 5th week! The skies are chilly and dark but the essay deadlines keep coming. Remember to take some time for yourself, even if it's short! Some quick reads are on display in the Library to help you.

Hello, my name is Freya Webber and I did work experience in the Teddy Hall library this week. I set up this display because I am very interested in portraiture and art. #workexperience #portrait #display #art

@fazacjc We can't find any specific mention of him on the team... but perhaps some of our 1985/86 Alumni remember better than our history books?

[St Edmund Hall Library @sehlibrary]
