Since 1964, Library Week has been celebrated in Turkey starting on the last Monday of March, aiming to instill the importance of books, libraries, and librarianship in the public, especially students. Throughout the week, various activities are organized to promote the love and habit of reading books among the public.
This year, under the leadership of the Turkish Librarians Association, the first “We Read Books in 81 Provinces” event was organized at our university. On Wednesday, March 27th, from 12:30 to 13:00, we took a thirty-minute break from the busy pace of life to embark on a journey between the pages of a book. During the event held in the C Block amphitheater, accompanied by the Information Center, we set up a borrowing point for our members who did not have a book. For the rest of the day, we enjoyed spending time with library members in the area allocated to us at the Information Center, where we conducted a Bookmarker and Book Cover Workshop with StudioHas.
I look forward to meeting you again at the same event in upcoming years. Thank you!
