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.

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.

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.
