Photo competition winners!
A massive thank you to all who entered our Library photo competition, and well done to the winners.
Winning photos will be displayed in our new bookable rooms. Each room is named after something you would find on the moorlands surrounding Bradford, whether that's a plant, animal or even a famous farmhouse.
The photos were anonymised when the judging took place.

Broaden Bradford's Books
Your University Library supports University of Bradford’s decolonisation strategy and is committed to provision of inclusive and diverse collections. Broaden Bradford’s Books is an initiative for our staff and students to help us with our aim to increase the diversity of our library collections. For example, broadening the range of books in our Library to support a more diverse curriculum, improving the representation of research from the Global South, and, increasing the range of books by and about LGBT+ people. We also welcome suggestions to include in the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Resource bank which the library has started to develop to support the University’s EDI work.
Please complete the form with any suggestions you have. All suggestions will be reviewed by our Subject Librarian team. Books may be purchased in eBook or print format.
Thank you!
