It's the last day of our countdown to Christmas!🎄We wish a happy Christmas to all who celebrate it, and a peaceful and relaxing time over the winter break to you all. 🎅 We look forward to seeing you back in the library in 2025.

Christmas isn't the easiest time for everyone, and there are plenty of reasons not to be as excited by it as everyone expects us to be. If you're looking for wellbeing help over the winter break, UCL's support services are still available. Find out more: tinyurl.com/36cveam6

Occasionally you may see our colleague Elango in the library with a watering can, tending to the many plants she has introduced around the library. They bring a burst of colourful nature to the IOE's concrete brutalism. #CountdowntoChristmas #UCLLibraries

Colleagues at the IOE Library spent an afternoon unwinding, eating mince pies and getting creative! We made origami, festive decorations and cards. Here are some of our creations. #AdventCalendar #CountdownToChristmas #UCLLibraries

Heads up: the IOE Library building will also be closed all day on Saturday 4th January due to an electrical shutdown. #CountdownToChristmas
