You Are Invited to Library Week Events at Bahçeşehir University!

Operating since Bahçeşehir University began its education activities, Barbaros Library serves both internal and external users with a user-oriented approach, following professional and technological innovations. Within this framework, Barbaros Library is moving forward in a way that integrates with its surroundings.

Barbaros Library will host 2 events on the theme of "Living Library" as part of "Library Week", organized every year by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and in İstanbul by the Governorship of İstanbul to raise awareness of libraries and librarians in our country and draw attention to these fields, and celebrated this year for the 46th time.

Dean of the Faculty of Architecture and Design Prof. Dr. Ahmet Eyüce will take part in the events with a talk entitled "Places Where Knowledge Is Sought: Libraries", Barbaros Library Librarian Bahar Biçen Aras with a talk entitled "University-City Integration: The Case of Barbaros Library", and Bahçeşehir University International Director Gürhan Kara with a photography exhibition on the theme "Living Library Barbaros".

The conference will explain how Barbaros Library has adapted to its surroundings and how it has removed barriers to access to information by opening its doors to the public on weekdays from 08:45 to 24:00, on Saturdays from 09:30 to 17:00 and on Sundays from 11:00 to 19:00. With the photography exhibition to be opened, Barbaros Library will capture various moments of the library and present them to you. Well worth seeing...

Our events are open to the entire Bahçeşehir Family, NGOs, the media and anyone interested in the subject.
