To help you taking care of your mental wellbeing, BPP Library has developed the ‘Great Reads’ project and the BookCrossing project. These are designed to complement our already vast collection of books with non-academic titles, which include children’s books, fiction, and memoirs. As we want to encourage our students to further boost their knowledge and look after their mental health, we also suggest that you take advantage of your local public library and its services.

What is BookCrossing?
BookCrossing is a project that aims to connect people through books by creating a space where you can donate and swap your pre-loved titles.
Where?
You can find a BookCrossing zone at the Manchester campus, in the Library on the second floor.
How?
Browse the books in the BookCrossing zone; if you wish to take a book out, go to bookcrossing.com and enter the unique BCID number found on the inside front cover. Make sure to tell the BookCrossing community where you have found the book, and, once you have read it, release it in the wild for other people to find!
We accept donations! If you are based at the Manchester campus and you have any fiction books that you would like to donate, please speak to a member of the Manchester Library team.
