International Literacy Day

8th September - International Literacy Day International Literacy Day takes place on September 8 every year to raise awareness and concern for literacy problems that exist within our own local communities as well as globally. International Literacy Day was founded by proclamation of The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, or UNESCO, in 1966 “to remind the public of the importance of literacy as a matter of dignity and human rights.” International Literacy Day brings ownership of the challenges of illiteracy back home to local communities where literacy begins, one person at a time.

Quiet Seating designated within the Library

In collaboration with the Disability Services, the library has acquired some new furniture. These chairs are placed in two newly designated areas to support “Quiet Areas” for staff and students. One of the areas is located in the Nursing Library reading room and the second area is at the back of the library.

These areas are designed to be a place of respite and calm, to ease sensory overload by reducing external noise for anyone using them. These chairs feel like you really are in a cocoon and are provided to help anyone who may be experiencing stress or anxiety or for students who want to go and just have a quiet meditative space.
