The post-COVID era, in particular, has marked a shift in the Library鈥檚 identity.

For 2026, the Department is focusing on cementing this transition by being involved in research projects and strategic collaborations. By partnering with entities such as the Equity Office, the Institute of Digital Games, and the Faculty of Education, the Department is positioning the Library as a central hub for culture, digital literacy, and student inclusion. Concurrently, the Department continues to manage the Library鈥檚 digital presence, ensuring that this supportive, social atmosphere is reflected across all communication channels.
