Identity - Who do you think you are?

Who do you think you are? 

If you’ve ever watched the TV show with that title, you’ll know it focuses on folk who are in the public eye and explores their identity through their ancestors, taking us on a timeline journey to see some of their family history and give a glimpse of their cultural, social and economic heritage. 

  

But how do we define ourselves? What does ‘Identity’ mean to you? 

  

This November our Reading for Pleasure theme is precisely that: IDENTITY 

The books and resources we have chosen this month reflect some of the different ways we think of ourselves when considering what makes us the person we are. Sometimes we will identify with a certain group and feel that it gives us a sense of belonging; at other times we feel our identity is what makes us unique, different from those around us. 

Here’s a taste for what you might find in our campus library displays during November.
