The latest Student Curation Project by Harshvir Singh Grewal shines a light on Sikhi (Sikhism). Harshvir is a a sixth-year medical student and he has curated a set of books that he hopes "will offer students at Trinity Hall and across the University of Cambridge a meaningful insight into my faith and way of life".
You can check out the book display in the entrance hall or the accompanying Libguide: https://libguides.cam.ac.uk/trinityhall/sikhi or hear Harshvir talking about his project here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVgID5qEg4P/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

To celebrate Valentine’s Day and Love Your Library Week, we’re repeating our much‑loved Blind Date with a Book!

Do you ever judge a book by its cover? This week, why not step outside your comfort zone and try a blind date with a book instead? Visit the trolley in the entrance hall and browse a tempting selection of potential matches we think you’ll love.

Each book is wrapped in paper, with just a few carefully chosen words as clues. Those hints are all you get to decide whether you’d like to take the book on a ‘date’ or keep looking…

We’ve included a diverse range of fiction titles, most of them new to the scene, so there should be something for everyone. We’ve even added some sweet treats to make your date extra special!

The library will be closed from midnight on Friday 20th December until Wednesday 1st January inclusive. It will re-open 8:00am on Thursday 2nd January.
We hope you have a very merry holiday and we’ll see you in the new year! 🎅🎄❄️☃️🎁🦌
