The students who borrowed the most books from the library of Istanbul Gelisim University in 2021 have been announced. Awarded at the ceremony held on March 31, the students also came together with Prof. Dr. Nail Öztaş, Deputy Rector of Istanbul Gelisim University.
 
Congratulating students for their love of reading, Öztaş said:
 
‘‘Reading is very important regardless of the topic. Today, there is the internet, there is the social media, and these take a lot of our time. We still need to spare time to read. I asked each of you what you read. I listened to your answers. And it made me very pleased. Let’s appreciate the value of time while living our life. In your spare time, watch conferences, attend exhibitions, write articles and read lots of books. The more books you read, the more you go to the exhibition, the more you participate in events, the more your horizons will be broadened. In the end, you will be both happy and successful.’’ 
 
Stating to the students that the missing books in the library can be purchased if they contact to the librarians, Öztaş also emphasized that all services are for students.

‘‘LIBRARY AWARENESS IS VERY IMPORTANT’’

In the event, also attended by A. Şenol Armağan, Head of Library and Documentation Department, Istanbul Gelisim University, all questions of the students were answered. Meanwhile, talking with the students, Armagan expressed the following about the Library Week:

‘‘The library is the memory of humanity. It fulfills a very critical function in the process of transferring information from yesterday to today and tomorrow. There would be no progress if no libraries existed. That's why library awareness is so important. If you ask what is library awareness: It is the awareness that we can reach the most accurate and reliable information that we need thanks to the library.’’
