ACTIVITIES:

LIBRARIANS:

THE HUB relies for a great deal on the help of the many student librarians.

Anyone who wants to become a librarian can follow a training programme, after which a Certificate of Excellence will be awarded. Many Kavanagh College students who have followed this course, have been employed by the Dunedin Public Library in the past.

Senior Librarians will help the junior librarians with their training.

DISPLAY OF ART WORK AND PROJECT WORK.

The library is an ideal place to display your art- or project work. The display cabinet in the foyer and the display area inside the library are always available for student work. Please ask the librarian if you like to use these facilities.
