Thanks to all students and staff who came out to UBC Library’s Chat and Chew Library Love event last Friday April 8th at IKBLC. We had a strong stream of visitors to our library booth, taking part in a pop-up photo booth, and sharing thoughts and anecdotes about library services. Library swag and snacks were very well-received by students celebrating their last day of classes for term two, and preparing for Block Party at UBC, as well as exam period (we hope!).
UBC Library hosts a Library Love booth annually to share appreciation for library users of all kinds and to encourage communication about library services and facilities. Consistent messaging we received this time around included a fondness for the Ridington Room at IKBLC, and appreciation for the library’s historical collections, such as an early edition of Henry David Thoreau’s Walden.
Be sure to follow our Facebook page to see our great album of photos from the event. We are already looking forward to Library Love 2017!
