Library Exam Support 2026 – Wellbeing

For our final instalment of Library and Exam Support 2026, we wanted to focus on something that is just as important as studying during this time, your wellbeing.

Exams and deadlines tend to bring pressure and stress.

While it’s important to stay focused, taking care of yourself is equally important.

Library Wellbeing Collection

Here in the Library, we believe that looking after your physical and emotional health is just as important as your studies. We are committed to supporting positive mental health and wellbeing, and believe that the key to wellbeing is the care and balance of different aspects of our lives.

With this holistic view of health in mind, we have curated a collection of books and other resources to support the different areas of your wellbeing. We’ve gathered together these resources in the hope that they help you feel happy, healthy and comfortable at Edinburgh Napier.

Our wellbeing collection includes both physical and ebooks that you can access anytime.

You will find a collection at each campus library, making it easy to browse while you are studying or just taking a break. And if you are not on campus, it can be accessed on the mynapier webpages.

This collection is here to support you during university life. Feel free to explore when you need.

And if you have any recommendations that you think might benefit others, please email library@napier.ac.uk

Library and relaxation spaces

We also have our relaxation spaces.

These are small, colourful areas we’ve designed for you to sit back and enjoy the benefits of natural light and soft seating.

Each of our three campus libraries has its own dedicated space. Ask the helpdesk for directions. In these spaces, we’ve provided puzzles, jigsaws, craft materials and colouring books and pens to help you feel relaxed and explore your creativity. Maybe you just pull up a beanbag and let your mind wander. want to sit and do nothing for a while. That’s fine too. You’ll feel all the better for a break and ready to tackle your next assignment.

If you prefer studying at home, you can access our relaxation spaces virtually through the blog. We’ve got you covered.

Don’t Stress!

Please do not panic or become overly stressed about your exams. A small amount of stress can be good for us but not when we are overwhelmed by it.

There are several services available to support you if you feel you need help.

Good luck with everything, we are all rooting for you!
