SU Open Day took place on the Stellenbosch and Tygerberg campuses on Saturday 23 February. The Stellenbosch University (SU) and Medicine and Health Sciences Libraries had staff members on duty welcoming the more than 1 915 parents and learners to the libraries. Tours were offered but many preferred to walk around the libraries unaccompanied. The SU Library’s Special Collections division showcased their Africana, rare books and material from their Manuscripts section. Visitors, including many alumni parents, were pleasantly surprised by the new spaces in the libraries e.g. the Learning and the Research Commons, and were fascinated by the wealth of information resources and services available and by the treasures held by the libraries.
