Signature Programme: Libraries Discovery Week
19 - 23 Aug 2026
From digital exploration and emerging research conversations to fresh ways of connecting with books and ideas, our signature Libraries Discovery Week events show why we’re more than just a library!
Signature Programme: Discover Digital
19 Aug 2026 (Wed), 10am - 5pm @ Central Library (Level 4)
Dive into the digital purrls of NUS Libraries and explore a pawsome world of e-books, databases, and online resources available at your fingertips!
Join us for a day of fun games (running after Libbie, literally 😸), free munchies (not cat food, promise), and bite-sized workshops (because knowledge is paw-er), all while uncovering tools to supercharge your study and research life.
Best of all, you could walk away with lucky draw prizes plus meow-vellous goodie bag!
Leap of Learning (LOL)
Learning’s no joke, but our Wednesday afternoon LOLs (part of NUSOne’s Dabble & Discover) are a fun way to enrich and learn new skills outside the classroom. Watch this space for new programmes coming soon!
