Need a little inspiration for your next relaxing read? 🏖️. Visit the E.J. Pratt Library’s new display on the second floor, featuring books recommended by members of the Victoria University community. We asked what books they turn to when they want to relax and unwind. We’ve included bookmarks with each title that share the stories behind their selections. Pick up a colouring page while you’re there for a little extra relaxation!
