Library information
Tell the Library what you think and you could win a tablet (also: free food)
The Library wants to hear what you have to say about it and its services. Just attend one of their stakeholder value discovery workshops, and you’ll go in the draw to win a tablet computer – not to mention you’ll be fed a free morning tea and lunch. All workshops are 8.30am – 12.30pm, DA03 (Dovedale Village).
Level 3 update
Have your say on what the Library keeps in its collection.
Work clearing Level 3 of the Central Library for eventual conversion into study space has started, and the Library wants staff and student input into any items that might be withdrawn from the Library’s collection.
