It is almost a year since I began this blog. My very first blog in May 2013 was about smiling, so when I saw an article in 'The Guardian' about libraries and happiness, I thought it was time for another 'happy' post!
The article talks about a study that found "visiting libraries makes us as happy as a £1,358 pay rise"! If you read the article you will see it is not quite as straight forward as it sounds; for example, there is a possibility that people who visit libraries are happy people anyway. So the findings don't appear to be very conclusive but it is an interesting read and I really like the idea that we are playing a part in making our students' lives happier! :)
