The Department of Library Services ended the year off strong with several fun and exciting initiatives for our students! Our library’s social media channels have continued to strengthen the connection with our engaged users. In September, the library hosted a
Storytelling Workshop, in collaboration with Righardt le Roux from Nal'ibali and Ntsako Tshungu from the National Reading Collaboration Trust.
In the month of October, we welcomed
Top Dogs back to our Hatfield and Prinshof campuses to allow our students to find comfort and companionship in therapy dogs prior to a stressful exam season. The library social media team coordinated and shared this event through our social media channels, and the turnout from our students was incredible. We hosted one session at
Prinshof, and two sessions at
Hatfield, with
one of our reels reaching over 15 000 people! This is an initiative that we hope to continue in the years ahead.
To finish the year off strong, the library social media team decorated a
custom-built Christmas Tree in the Merensky 2 library. The structure was filled with books and decorations, as well as
scannable QR codes to see more holiday season-themed eBooks. Throughout the month of December, holiday season posts were shared. This included eBook recommendations and images of each of the library’s faculty teams.
2022 was a year that held great success and many challenges. The Department of Library Services is excited to tackle 2023 with a positive mindset, and the Marketing and Quality Assurance office is ready to showcase it all to you. Thank you for being a part of our cherished community.
