\u201cLibraries: heart of the University Community\u201d was the adapted theme used by the Library and Information Service to celebrate South African Library Week<\/a> from the 16th<\/sup> to the 23rd<\/sup> March 2018.<\/p>\n

The theme served to remind users that the library is \u201ca communal space that caters to specific needs\u201d of the University community, and that the library belongs to the University community and is central to it.<\/p>\n

\"\"Three training sessions which took place in the Stellenbosch University Library (SU Library) were highlighted to users on the plasma screens. Plasma slides<\/a> also presented the SALW theme and featured each of the branch libraries, including the newly refurbished Medicine and Health Sciences Library at Tygerberg campus. The Library Week poster<\/a> was displayed at all libraries, and the Library Week and Library banners were displayed prominently at the SU Library.<\/p>\n

A competition was run on the library facebook page where users were asked to \u201clike\u201d the page, take a photograph of their favourite area in any of the SU libraries, post their photograph, and most importantly tell us why it is their favourite area.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to our winners Anjela Adamson, Ilke Meissner and Vincent Frenz. Here is what they said about their favourite areas:<\/p>\n
