In addition to tours and inductions booked by lecturers, our library team also run events for staff and students to familiarise themselves with the library spaces and resources in a more relaxed way.

These events are designed to introduce the library as a welcoming and inclusive space for learning.

The event for 2024/2025 took place at Granton Campus was aimed primarily at Creative Industries students.

Library Introduction Event 2024/2025

This DIY interactive activity is based on these Eki train stamps where stamps are collected in books across the city’s stations – Upon entering the library participants will be invited to pick up a piece of paper with library information and will be supported to fold it into a zine. Participants will then be encouraged to explore the library to find various ‘stations’. At each station they will be able to explore a collection or complete an activity, then stamp their zine with a stamp which has been carved by a member of the library team.
