❄️☃️ 📚 Let's meet our snowman. How would you call him? 🥇🥈🥉Here is the Library Wrapped of the year 2025 for books, e-books, journals, graphic novels, DVD and games. 🎄✨️🎁 Last year, while we were decorating the library Christmas tree, someone approached us, interested. They had never participated in this tradition before! 🏢The Library uses North American floor numbering. In this system, the ground floor and first floor are generally synonymous, being both located at ground level. https://www.instagram.com/p/DQblezkiD_I/ 🍂🍁🌥🕰 During the night of October 25th to 26th 2025, Switzerland will switch to standard time (-1 hour to summer time). 📚🚫🔒 Banned Books (& Films) Week was launched in 1982 by the American Library Association. It invites a reflection on book bans, censorship, and freedom of speech. This year, it is happening from 5-11 October. ♟️🤔⏳️ Some students played chess in the Davis Lounge during the summer. Feel free to do the same! 👑 🔎🧣 📚 Did you know our first PhD thesis is dated from 1928?
