Abstract
Al Maktoum Medical Library strive to offer excellent
resources and services to support
our patrons academic and
intellectual pursuits, in addition
to that our new Wellness Services
aims to support our patron as a
whole person.
There are a number of ways
academic libraries can support
well-being, including developing
spaces, services, and collections
that help students to develop
good emotional, social, physical,
and mental health.
The library can be a place that
students can visit to calm the
mind and refocus in the midst of
a busy day. Given our
technology-rich lives, there are
times when it’s healthy to leave
the screen behind, sit somewhere
comfortable, and enjoy a good
book. For libraries, this means
creating spaces for relaxing and
comfortable reading.
Here at the Al Maktoum Medical
Library, you’ll find a growing
collection of resources designed
to enhance and support your
overall health and wellbeing.
Our library welcomes everyone,
whether it’s to study, to rest, or
to recharge.
