In celebration of World Book Day, Olabisi Onabanjo University Library has launched the maiden edition of the library fiesta.
The event, which kicked off earlier today, April 22, features activities such as the scavenger hunt, book display, and Authors' Dress Down which will happen tomorrow.
In an interview with Campus Mirror, the University Librarian, Professor Nike Onifade, shares the inspiration behind the initiative.
"We realized that the students, especially the Gen Z's, want quick resources. Also, we discovered that most students spend most of their time on the internet, so we came up with this to draw students in and attract them to the library."
While asked about the aims and objectives of the event, Professor Onifade said: "We hope that at the end of this celebration, more students will come to the library.
"The library is not just for reading academic books; students can be entertained, too. We have good books and games that you can play, like Ludo," she stated.
"We have a lot of programs for tomorrow's event. The Important personalities will be gracing the occasion tomorrow, and this will be an amazing opportunity for students to do networking."
As the library fiesta continues, "I won't advise that any student should miss it," she added.
