🌍 International Youth Day 2026

Young minds today. Better world tomorrow. Stronger together. 💚

At AUC Libraries and Learning Technologies, we believe libraries are more than places to find information — they are spaces where young people can learn, connect, develop, act and lead.

From accessing knowledge and building new skills to collaborating, creating and turning ideas into action, we’re here to support our students every step of the way.

Because when young people bring the ideas and libraries provide the resources, possibilities grow. 🌱

Here’s to the curiosity, creativity and potential of the next generation. ✨

✨ Research just got a whole lot smarter.

From finding the right papers to organizing notes, checking citations, and brainstorming ideas, AI can help you spend less time searching and more time discovering.

Swipe through and explore 5 AI tools every researcher should know. 📖💡

💬 Which one have you tried? Or is there another AI tool you'd recommend?

🌍 **Plastic Free July** starts with one simple choice.

Small changes can create a lasting impact. Bring a reusable water bottle, carry a tote bag, skip single use plastics, or choose reusable coffee cups. Every action adds up.

This July, let's make sustainability part of our everyday routine, one habit at a time. 💚♻️

💧 Every drop counts.

Saving water doesn't require big changes, just small mindful habits practiced every day.

🚰 Turn off taps when not in use
♻️ Refill and reuse water bottles
🌱 Water plants wisely
🔧 Report leaks when you see them

Together, we can help create a more water-secure future.
