    by Meghan Staal
    written by Meghan Staal

    As we wrap up classes for the winter term at the University of Alberta, it’s a great time to reflect on this past academic year. All of our locations buzzed with activity, with many students, faculty, and visitors coming in to read, study, borrow materials and make use of our many different services. One of our biggest achievements is the opening of our new Geoffrey & Robyn Sperber Health Sciences Library, with its beautifully designed spaces, such as its Indigenous Learning Space and state-of-the-art features; which include a Media Lab, VR Lab, and 3D Printers.

    We want to thank everyone who made this year special! Whether you checked out books, studied hard, or just enjoyed being part of our campus community, you helped make this academic year one to remember!

    Thank you for the read! Love us on the blog? Chances are, you’ll love us on social media! Follow us on Instagram & Twitter; @uofalibrary.
