In 2018, Buchanan Library at Lethbridge College has been a very exciting place!

On January 2^nd, we said good-bye to our information Services desk and hello to our new One Desk.  An exciting adventure for both staff and students.

Excitement continued with ‘Beach Day’ on January 31^st.  An event involving a number of services across the college, spearheaded by the library, threw on their flip-flops and enjoyed blueberry and watermelon slushes with slices of pineapple on the side.

Finally, the Library teamed-up with the Learning Café to host Long Night Against Procrastination.  Students enjoyed stress release activities including massages and crafts along with healthy snacks like apples, granola bars and pizza.
