Looking for that special missing chapter in your life?
Have you checked out your heart to someone special, or is love overdue?

Templeman Library can indulge your love of books this Valentine's Day.

Drop in to our Love to Read section by the Café, find a classic film in our DVD collection, or just unwind in our literary universe.

As part of LGBTQ+ History Month, we have a curated display focused on figures from the world of science. https://www.kent.ac.uk/whats-on/event/80159/lgbtq-history-month

Whether it's Valentine's Day, Galentine's Day, or neither of these for you, there's something for everyone here at your library.

Which book would you choose? 📚

It's tricky! 🤔

From literary classics to contemporary novels, we've pulled together some of the most 'popular' titles that crop up in surveys and polls of books people claim to have read.

Come check out our 'Books we pretend we've read' display in the Templeman Library Welcome Hall.

You may well have read some of these books already, but if not, this is your opportunity to embark on a journey of discovery as you explore our collection!

Enjoy! 😀❤️
