University of Aberdeen Library

📚 Shhh... we're celebrating International Day of Play! 🎉

Who says libraries are all work and no play?

If you need a study break or some stimulation during the summer break, head to our Fun Corner on Floor 2 and get hands-on with:
✂️ Fancy-edge scissors
🧶 Knitting & crochet supplies
🟡 Pom pom makers
🌈 Coloured paper & dots
🤏 Fidget and sensory toys
🧩 Jigsaw puzzles
⚡ Operation (good luck, surgeon!)
🎵 Music Quiz cards
..and plenty more!

Because sometimes the best way to recharge is to put the books down and just have fun!

As our students are taking a well-deserved break after the exams and our libraries are not so busy, we started to think what our pets would do if they got a chance to visit the library.

Due to staffing levels, the Medical Library will close at 17:00 today (4 May).

We'll open again tomorrow at 9:00.

Introducing library staff's Pet of the Month! We know you love our pets so we thought, why not?

April is: Lady.

Lady is the fur baby of Shannon who is working in Taylor Library.

Hi, my name is Lady and I am a 6 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel . I am a professional cuddler, napper, and sausage connoisseur. I love walks just to get petted by people and if you don’t say "Hi!" I will cry until you have no choice. Even though I am small, I am the princess of my family. 👸

What does Lady’s dream day look like?
• Getting up around 9am and just stretching for a few minutes
• Going for a little walk to see all her many fans
• Laying in the sun daydreaming about sausages
• Cuddling all night with her family.

How did you do? 5/5

Unfortunately, due to staff shortages, the Taylor (Law) Library will close at 17:00 today, Tuesday 17 March.

We’re really sorry for the inconvenience 💙

Due to a fault the Sir Duncan Rice Library is currently closed. Estates are working to open the building as soon as possible!
