Last week, Bilkent University Library celebrated Turkey’s 52nd Library Week with a series of cultural and academic activities. The aim of the event is to focus attention on books, libraries and librarians and also to encourage the habit of reading.
On Tuesday, a seminar on “Academic Integrity” was held in Mithat Çoruh Auditorium. This was followed by a mini concert at the Library Art Gallery, courtesy of the Faculty of Music and Performing Arts.
During Wednesday lunchtime, an activity called “Bring a Book, Let’s Read Together,” brought Bilkent students and academic and administrative staff together on the lawn between the Main Campus Library and the Rectorate building for an outdoor communal reading session.
On Thursday, Bilkent librarians gave a seminar for library and information science students on “Public Relations at Bilkent University Library.” The celebration of Library Week ended on Friday with a screening of the film “Whiplash” in the Library’s orientation room.
