New year, same us

September 16, 2019 by Ana Klein Leave a Comment

Welcome posterWelcome welcome to students old and new!

Filton LRC is excited to begin the academic year with you. We’ve got lots planned for this year, including celebrating holidays, running competitions, and encouraging enrichment activities. If you’re new to LRC or just need a refresher, here is some of the stuff we’re offering:

  • Books! Obviously, because we’re a library. We’ve got textbooks, ebooks and journals to help you through your course, as well as lots of great fiction, graphic novels, autobiographies… the list goes on.
  • DVDs! We’re always surprised by how surprised people are at our DVD collection. We have an amazing selection of films and some box sets, too!
  • Stationery. Cheap, cheap, cheap. Get yourself a biro for 5p. Pop by the front desk to see our full range.
  • PCs. Most of you know about these, but we have lots of drop-in PCs so that you can do some serious studying.
  • Study skills. The LRC’s very own Amber is a study skills master. Ask at the front desk to book an appointment and she’ll be able to help you with a range of skills from Harvard referencing to time management to how to structure an essay.
  • Enrichment! You never know what we’ll offer for a bit of wellbeing… we have a regular origami station, colouring, puzzles, and the odd boardgame session.

Want to find out more about any of the above? Send the LRC an email at lrc.filton@sgscol.ac.uk or even better, come up and visit us!
