Community bookshelf
Items on this shelf are selected by the community at St Andrews. If you want to suggest a theme, or curate a collection, please get in touch library@st-andrews.ac.uk.
If you or someone close to you is going through a difficult time or coping with a condition or stressor, sometimes reading about these situations can help. The University Library together with Student Services and the University Occupational Health team have brought together a selection of books under common themes for you in the Shelf Help reading list. These books and resources are available to borrow from the Library or
read online.
Need help?
If you have any questions or concerns, chat with Library staff from 9am to 5pm, Monday until Friday.
