Libraries Week and World Mental Health Day

This week is Libraries week and the theme this year is wellbeing. The Libraries at TRS, staffed by professionally qualified Librarians, offer a welcoming, calm and supportive environment with access to a diverse range of resources - a place to study without interruption or escape into the pages of a good book!

Today is World Mental Health Day.  Research has shown that reading for pleasure can help improve your mental wellbeing by relieving stress, improving your sleep, enhancing your social skills and boosting your intelligence.  Books can transport you to another place, help you understand you and those around you, make you laugh, cry or scare you. Whether you like funny, crime, horror, romance or adventure we have the book for you - just ask  your Librarians!

Tip: If you are not an avid reader, just start by choosing a book over your phone at bedtime to help you develop the reading habit.  Ask the Librarians or your friends to recommend a good read.
