The University Library is celebrating the return of students for the fall quarter with a flurry of activities.
Welcome Week, which is in its sixth year, will run Oct. 2 to Oct. 6 and feature a scavenger hunt, a Mario Kart Tournament and a chance to “Meet Your Librarian.”
The highlight of the week will be “Tips to Help You Succeed,” a session on Oct. 3 that will offer tips to students about how to find books and other materials, navigate the library’s website and request items from other libraries.
Prizes will be given at all of the events.
