Instead of being cooped up in a gym which smells of old plimsolls, and agonising over an exam paper, then heading off with your classmates for a long hot summer back-packing, you now have a lot of time on your hands, staring at your bedroom wallpaper and wishing it were somehow different, so how can you fill your time before starting uni.

This Halloween is the Library scarily good or frighteningly bad?
This Halloween we offer you the opportunity to write the Library a terrifying Halloween message. You can let us know what you think is “scarily good” or simply “fang-tastic” about the Library and what really works for you. Alternatively let us know what you think might be “frighteningly bad” or positively “ghoulish” so we can start improving it for you.
