Students have been working on posters and mood boards focused around 3 areas of the lockdown: the good things, the bad things and what do we think it will look like once we return to a version of normality.
What a great display we have in our library. The theme is books for the incurably curious. The books are on the theme of health and medicine which are part of the Wellcome Book Prize.
