UBC Library will celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2015, the same year that the University celebrates its centennial. Special programming for the campus community and Library users is being developed and implemented by a Library Centenary Working Group, chaired by Ingrid Parent, University Librarian. Ideas under consideration include a student digital shorts contest, a multi-site exhibition of the Uno Langmann collection and a campus-wide time capsule that will coincide with the launch of the Library PARC building.
“Since 1915, the Library has been the foundation of the university,” says Parent. “It is a fitting way to look back at our past accomplishments and to share the new direction and vision for the Library’s future.”
Keep an eye out for events on the Library’s website.
