Library Student Partners

We're Hiring!

Are you a current Warwick Student? Would you like to share your experience and use your skills to help us co-create, improve and deliver a Library service which enriches and supports all our users?

For further information or questions about the role, please do get in touch with us at library at warwick dot ac dot uk.

Library Student Partners

Our Library Student Partners are current Warwick Students hired by the Library to help bridge the gap between students and staff. Offering peer-support, you'll see them at our events and you may also see them in other Library spaces asking you questions. They also work behind the scenes, helping us to implement changes that will improve our services.

If you see a Library Student Partner and have a suggestion for an improvement to the Library, please do let them know so they can pass your thoughts on to us.

Our Library Student Partners also work with us on our Display Cases and on our Social Media.

Display Cases

At the front of the Library we have a display case which we use to showcase many of the different collections and resources available to users. For some of these, we have worked alongside our Library Student Partners to ensure that we harnessed the student voice.

Disability Awareness Month

For our Disability Awareness Month display, we worked with a handful of our Library Student Partners to help us create a vibrant and informative display with the student voice at its centre.

De-Stresstival, Nature, and Mental Health

For our De-Stresstival, Nature, and Mental Health display, we worked with one of our Library Student Partners who helped to create a wonderful poster and helped us choose which books and information to share.

We're proud to share that former Library Student Partner, Charlotte Smith, has secured her first graduate job in a Library in a Law Firm after being inspired by the work she did at the University of Warwick.
