Webster Leisure & Wellness Collection

Read, Relax, Play

New! Webster Library’s Leisure and Wellness Space has moved to LB-2!

We have a growing collection of books and games for you to enjoy at the Webster Library. If you head to LB-2, right across from the Course Reserves room, you will find our newly relocated Leisure and Wellness Space where all the materials in this new collection are kept.

You can come hangout, have fun, and decompress. Whether you want to relax between classes with a colouring book, join your friends for a game of Scrabble, or find a new fantasy book to check out, the space is yours to use how you want.
