Library News – LGBT+ History Month

Stack of our prize draw books ‘Double Booked’, ‘Young Mungo’, and ‘The Confessions of Frannie Langton’

Enter our prize draw in the Library now!

Library and Learning Services are running a prize draw to celebrate LGBT+ History Month, promote diversity and encourage wider reading.

Students are invited to enter the draw with an opportunity to win books by award winning LGBT+ authors or with LGBT+ themes. 

All the titles are also available to borrow from the Library as part our the Library’s SurreyReads collection https://library.surrey.ac.uk/surreyreads – a student-led leisure reading collection, designed to encourage students and staff at the University to pick up a book and read simply for fun.

Enter by filling out your details on a slip of paper and pop it in the box in the Library, on Level 1, just inside the gates. Hurry, as the winners will be drawn from those who enter by 5 pm on Valentine’s Day, 14 February. Each student entering has a chance to win one of the three titles (maximum of one book each), but it will be a mystery book and you won’t know what you have won until you unwrap the book. Don’t delay – enter today!

We would love to hear what you enjoyed about your winning read so please send us your reviews to library@surrey.ac.uk.
