Activities for Health and Sustainability Week

18/04/2024

Next week, from April 22 to 26, we have prepared a series of activities to celebrate Health and Sustainability. You can choose between visiting the stand that the Library Service will have in La Comunitària, participating in bookcrossing, attending the workshops and talks, buying a book for 1 euro... Choose your activity, we will be waiting for you!

Stretching workshop and talk “Food labels. How to read them?”
The Medicine Library has organized a series of stretching and postural correction workshops, taught by students of the Physiotherapy degree, where they will explain the correct postures that we need in our daily lives. There will also be a talk to learn how to interpret the information we find on food labels.

• Practical workshops on stretching and postural correction. Two sessions on Wednesday, April 24 (3:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m.-4:00 p.m.) and two sessions on Thursday, April 25 (9:30-10:00 a.m. and 10:00-10:30 a.m.).
• Talk “Food labels. How to read them?” by Dr. Montserrat Solanas and Mrs. Jessica Jaramillo. Wednesday, April 24 from 1:00 p.m. – 2:30 p.m.

Starting on Monday the 22nd you will also find a “mural” with healthy advice with contributions from the students, mandalas and colorful paintings to combat stress and anxiety and some trellises will be installed for stretching at the entrance door of the Library.

La Comunitària (April 23)

BiblioJENGA of the UAB Libraries. Can you remove the Jenga pieces without the rest falling over? Play at the Library Service stop and become the most skilled in this game! There will be prizes and books from the libraries so you can choose the one you want.

Books at 1 euro

As is tradition, some of the libraries have located a stand selling books for 1 euro in their lobbies: the Humanities, Social Sciences, Science and Technology, Veterinary and Communication and General Newspaper Archive libraries. The recapture will be used to purchase new documents.

Book exchange points

The Social Sciences Library and the Sabadell University Library suggest that you give a new life to those books that you have at home and that you do not plan to read again. Bring them to the book exchange points that both libraries have set up so they can find other readers.

Feed this seed and you will grow together

This year the Veterinary Library joins the Healthy and Sustainable Week with the sunflower seed donation campaign. During this week if you come to the counter we will give you two sunflower seeds and a compostable container to plant them.

In the Sabadell University Library and in the Veterinary Library you will find the necessary material to make origami, roses and dragons.

In the Humanities Library, various activities have been organized, such as: a display with literary recommendations from the library staff, a wall with post-it notes for users to make reading recommendations, and the exhibition '100 years since the death of Joan Salvat-Papasseït ' will be inaugurated.

The Social Sciences Library will inaugurate an in-person exhibition on healthy food and sustainable tourism books.

In the Communication Library and General Newspaper Archives they will give away bookmarks made with origami to anyone who comes to the loan counter on the ground floor.
You will also find the 'Ecoedition' exhibition on sustainable publishing to raise awareness and publicize the environmental impact of publishing in the Veterinary Library, the Communication Library and General Newspaper Library, the University Library of Sabadell and the Social Sciences Library.

We encourage you to participate in the activities we have organized for the Health and Sustainability!
