Mood-Boosting Books for January 2022

This month, we’re recommending books to help you beat the “January blues” and boost your mood.  

Our displays include books on nutrition and exercise such as recipes and yoga, and stress management and mindfulness with self-help guides, alongside a selection of books chosen to soothe and entertain you. 

Below are our campus book displays at Bedford and Luton. 

From Stress to Success

May! A busy potentially stressful time for students. Exams, dissertations, assignments – the culmination of the years’ work. Here at your University library, we will do all we can support you. We are focusing our Books unlocked this month on easing Exam Stress. As with many things this year, we will be supporting you virtually as well as on campus. On campus we will have a selection of suggested reading and helpful tips for study, as well as takeaway mindful colouring and exercise suggestions.  

Be sure to check our social media feeds for regular tips on de-stressing, relaxing your mind, looking after yourself and for revision and study tips:
