The secret of happiness lies not in possessing things but in the ability to enjoy them.

 

prof. Tadeusz Kotarbiński, the first Rector of the University of Lodz

Will you exchange?

In selected places at the University of Lodz you can find specially marked #UniLodz Bookcrossing bookshelves with books to exchange. In order to take part in the campaign and get some new books, you just need to leave your books in exchange. This way, we can give books a second life.

Bookcrossing bookshelves can be found:

  • at the UL Faculty of Law and Administration
  • at the UL Faculty of Economics and Sociology
  • at the UL Faculty of Philosophy and History
  • at the UL Faculty of Philology
  • at the UL Faculty of Management
  • at the UL Faculty of International and Political Studies
  • at the UL Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science
  • at the UL Faculty of Biology and Environmental Protection
  • at the UL Faculty of Educational Sciences
  • at the UL Faculty of Physics and Applied Informatics
  • at the University of Lodz Library
  • in the UL Rector’s Office (1st and 2nd building)
  • in the UL 10th dormitory

For many years, the campaign has also been supported by the Lodz University Press, thanks to which you can find many scientific publications among the circulating books. 

In 2016, on the occasion of the Ogólnopolski Dzień Wolnych Książek [National Free Books Day], writers, poets, cultural animators, journalists, scientists and representatives of cultural institutions of Lodz donated to bookcrossing at the University of Lodz books that are important and interesting to them. Each book with a personal justification! Rectors and Deans of the University of Lodz also joined the campaign several times. Books selected by them, with their signatures and a few words for the new readers, can be found on the bookshelves.
