Dear Library Users,
It feels like just yesterday that we welcomed you at the orientation, but now we find ourselves bidding farewell to the year 2023. We hope this semester has treated you well, and we extend our best wishes for your future endeavors.
As December unfolds, the Library has prepared a series of events to add a touch of excitement to the final moments of your exam season. Our dedicated subject librarians have organized informative workshops that introduce valuable tools and methods to help you achieve your academic goals for 2023. If you happened to miss any of these sessions, fret not, as they are available for viewing on the Library's website. Additionally, our ongoing "Make a Wish" event will continue until January 11, 2024, allowing all users to come to the University Library and jot down their New Year wishes to welcome the coming year, 2024. Moreover, don't forget to visit us on December 24 to collect a wrapped book gift. Please note that there are only 100 copies available, so mark your calendars and arrive early to secure your copy!
As the semester draws to a close, we hope you feel adequately prepared and ready to give your best in completing 2023. With the festive season upon us, the air is filled with excitement and joy. We wish you good health and happiness during this special time. Time, indeed, is one of the most precious gifts we receive. Happy holidays!
