Happy February all!
With Valentine’s day fast approaching, the Law Library has decided to run again the very successful ‘Love Letters to the Library’.
The idea for these Love Letters is taken from Andy Priestner’s A Handbook of User Experience Research & Design in Libraries.
Library users are asked to write letters to the Library, and it can be about anything that they love or hate. It has been very successful as Priestner says “the method is universally understood and very willingly participated in”.
So, you are given the option to either declare your love or break up with the Library. The letters are written specifically to the Library and not to staff and you can give your reasons for your choice. Your responses help us have a very informal and often funny but instructive idea as to how you feel. We will run this from the 10th till the 16th February; you can pick up your love or break up letter from the foyer at the Law Library and fill it in at your leisure.

Responses are private and are judged by Law Library staff. When winners are chosen from each category they are contacted for permission to anonymously post the letters on social media. And there will be a £20 book token for a winning love letter and a winning break up one! So, go ahead and pick up your love or break up letter from the Library and let it know how you feel and what you like or don’t like about it.

We are looking forward to reading your replies; and remember to address them to the Library.
Have fun!
