Wee Read Libraries

The Wee Read Libraries (WRL) are brought to you by UWS Library.  These are collections of free books for everyone to take away to read, keep, pass on, or return for someone else to enjoy. Unlike the books in the UWS Library collection, a Wee Read Library can be used without having to issue any items to your Library account.  You may have heard about or used something similar called an Honesty Library.

You will find a Wee Read Library on each campus, each one is stocked with a wide-range of books including autobiographies, cook books, crime, fiction and romance.

If you are finished reading a book, pass it on to someone else or take it back to the Wee Read Library on any campus and leave it on the shelf for someone else to enjoy. If you have other books to share, we welcome donations.

For larger book donations, please contact Gillian Dawson (gillian.dawson@uws.ac.uk)

'Isn't it odd how much fatter a book gets when you've read it several times? As if something were left between the pages every time you read it. Feelings, thoughts, sounds, smells and then, when you look at the book again many years later, you find yourself there too, a slightly younger self, as if the book had preserved you like a pressed flower, both strange and familiar.'

Cornelia Funke

The Wee Read Library is located within the Library space.  You will find it on the left at the entrance to the Library on level 3.

The Wee Read Library is in the Library space close to the Info Point.

The Wee Read Library is located within The Neuk at Paisley campus, which is on Level 2 of the Elles West (J) building.  From the Library go across the bridge to Elles East (L), turn left, then at the end of the corridor turn left again. Straight ahead you will find The Neuk.

The Wee Read Library is located beside the printers at Lanarkshire campus Library. You will find it in the Print/Copy/Scan area to the right at the end of the Info Point.

You will find the Wee Read Library opposite the UWS help desk in Export Building (7^th floor). The WRL is on its own stand next to the theses and journals.
