Leisure reading at Flinders University Library​

In addition to resources for education and research, Flinders University Library offers options for leisure and wellbeing reading to help you manage stress when you need a break from study. Grab a book to relax with or install an app for free ebooks and audiobooks when you’re on the go.​

Borrow a book in-person

Central Library (level 1), City Campus Library, Medical Library and Tonsley Library have shelves of leisure reading available to browse a diverse range of popular fiction and non-fiction. You can sit for a while or take books away to read at home.​

These books can be identified by the blue 'Read & Return' sticker on the cover; you do not need to use your ID card to borrow them, you can just take them with you and bring back whenever you are finished!​ 
You can also recommend books or genres you’d like the library to purchase.
