A goup of students at the Hub have begun the Six Book Challenge - a national event to get people to enjoy reading more. The challenge runs until June and students will read six books of their own choice and record their reading in a diary.
Along the way we will celebrate World Book Day in March with the launch of a new selection of Quick Reads. Learning Resource Centres at the Hub and University Centre have a selection of fiction to loan - from a short read suitable for beginners to a novel. We also have a large selection of Macmillan readers that have an audio CD to listen to a story while you read along.
If you would like more information please call in at the Hub LRC or contact us at enquiry.desk@don.ac.uk.
