National Stress Awareness Day

Today is National Stress Awareness Day! We thought we would bring this to your attention, as we understand that being a student (or member of academic staff) can bring along its own set of stresses.

For more information about the day and the organisation behind it see the following link:

Also don't forget the library is here to help you, with its resources and services to make your student/staff life that bit easier. We have four libraries at Swansea Met, and amongst many things can offer you physical space/peace to work, knowledgable subject librarians to guide you through our resources both print and electronic, and also convenient access to the latter off-campus 24/7.

So do pop in to your nearest Swansea Met library and see what we have to help you :-)

Looking for some peace and quiet?

During term time, SMU libraries are open weekday evenings and at the weekends. There’s less hustle and bustle at these times, so if you’re looking for a quiet place to swot up for your exams, try coming to us out of “office hours”. There’s also less competition for PCs at these times, so you can really get stuck in to that assignment you’ve been working on! For individual library opening hours, click the link to your library from our homepage: www.smu.ac.uk/library.

We’re also open during vacation periods. Easter opening hours for each library are available on the library website. Just click the link under the Notices section. This year, Townhill Library’s late night opening carries on through the first week of the vacation to Friday 7th April and Owen Library at Mount Pleasant is open on Saturdays through the Easter holidays (except for Easter weekend!). Hopefully that will give you all a chance to come in and catch up on some studying, or to borrow some nice holiday reading!

Needing quiet time for study?

If you are looking for somewhere more peaceful to study during term-time, why not visit one of our SMU Libraries during the evening, or on a weekend, when it is quieter?

Please see our website for each library's individual opening hours www.smu.ac.uk/library - with less hussle and bussle than at peak times hopefully it should prove productive for you!
