Anzac Day 2018

Posted by Natalie on 24 April, 2018

On Anzac Day, the 25th April, we pay tribute to and remember those who have served. Anzac Day is one of Australia’s most important national occasions, marking the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War.

This year we commemorate the Centenary of the First World War (1914-1918).

Commemorating 100 years of ANZAC, Kelvin Grove Library.

To help understand the Australian experience of war, the Australian War Memorial website provides information about Anzac Day and the Memorial’s commemoration projects for the Centenary of the First World War.

QUT Library also has a wide range of resources available for learning more about Anzac Day and the First World War. The following books and videos are highly recommended:

The Great War by Les Carlyon
Victory at Villers-Bretonneux by Peter Fitzsimons
Australia at War 1914-1918
Centenary of ANZAC: Albany Commemoration

We will be open on Anzac Day, Wednesday 25th April. Our library website provides more details on our opening hours.

Don’t anyone panic!

But don’t fret if you want to get some extra study time in over the holiday season, the 24 hour labs at Gardens Point and Kelvin Grove will still be open.

If you think you will suffer from library withdrawal remember we have loads of resources available to you online. This includes our databases to help with any summer semester information needs, our videos to keep you entertained over the break and our eBook collection for those who want to get into their summer reading. Our top picks for this summer are –

Die Hard – This action packed movie is a Christmas classic!
A Christmas Carol – Charles Dickens novel as an audio book makes it easy to get into the festive season.
Day Boy – Read a new take on vampires from a local Brisbane author.
A Walk in the Woods – The comedian Bill Bryson takes you on a hilarious hike.
10 Things I Hate About You – Based on Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew, this is a must watch movie!

But remember, if you want to borrow any library books or DVD in hard copy or speak to a librarian make sure to contact us before December 24th.

From all of us at QUT Library we wish you a safe and happy holiday season!
