Goodbye and Good Luck!

As the academic year comes to an end we want to wish all our students happy holidays and good luck with those exam results.

For those students not returning in September we wish you all the very best with your future endeavours.

And just a final note.....we still have a number of books yet to be returned.  If you can still see copies of your textbooks somewhere at home, could we ask that you please return them to the LRC as soon as possible so we can get them ready for the new academic year.  The LRC is open as normal this week.  We will then be open at certain points over the summer holidays - but please ring the main reception first to double check the exact opening hours each day.

Eid Mubarak!

The LRC would like to wish everyone a Happy Eid! 

 

Enjoy the celebrations!!

 

Help Us to Help You!

It’s that time of year when we want to find out your views about the LRC.

 

 

Each year we ask students to complete a survey about the Learning Resources Centre, which helps us to make improvements for the future. 

 

Please spare a few minutes to complete the survey by going to the Survey area on Moodle.

 

Many thanks for your help.

Don't Forget to Return Your Books

A final reminder to all students that all books borrowed from either the LRC and/or subject departments must be returned to the LRC prior to the summer holidays and by no later than Thursday 28^th June.

 

But don’t wait until the very end - once you have completed your exams/coursework return them straight away!

 

Book that are not returned may incur fines and/or replacement costs.

 

Many thanks for your cooperation with this.

 

LRC Half Term Opening

Please note we will be closed on Monday and Tuesday.

Young Writers in the North Festival ROTHEHRAM - Saturday 14th April

“It’s an open door into anything a young writer could possibly want: how to develop work, how to move into the professional sphere, poetry, prose, performance, script, comedy – and a wonderful social event for young people who don’t necessarily see other young writers regularly.”

Young writer feedback (2014 festival)

Hive Young Writers Festival is a jam-packed day of word-based happenings for young writers (14-25) from across Yorkshire and the North taking place on Saturday 14 April.

We’re talking 150+ young writers under one roof enjoying workshops, panel discussions & advice sessions with a wide range of practicing writers and industry professionals. There’ll also be a number of free one to one advice sessions you can book with professional writers on the day.

The festival is a chance to network, hear from professional writers, meet like-minded young writers, perform & of course, write! Everyone is welcome – all writing interests and experiences. Check out our list of festival writers & who’s who.

Workshops and talks will span everything from novel and performance poetry, to advice from publishers and about writing careers. There’ll also be the chance to ask questions to a wide range of professional writers in panel Q&As.

There’ll be book stalls from Valley Press, The Poetry Business and Longbarrow Press. You might also encounter roving Hive reporters and Write Radio from Sheffield Live hoping to record some words on the fly!

You can also take to the mic with your own words – be they sung, acted or spoken and there’ll be a poetry finale slam competition with prizes (sign up details coming soon).

The last festival like this was in 2014 so we hope you’ll join us for this rare and exciting day of all things words!
