Photobooth

We are holding our annual Student Services Expo in the Rakaia Centre atrium from 12-1pm on Tuesday 26th February to welcome our students and to let them know what awesome services we have on offer here at CPIT.  

One of those amazing, awesome, invaluable services for you eager to learn fellows is the library and we want to hear from you what you want from your library, what we do well and what needs a bit of work.  So we are having a photobooth here in the library (very exciting!).  We want as many people as possible to stop by, write down one or two words on a blackboard what you feel your library is…..   So somewhere quiet, somewhere to talk, somewhere to meet friends, somewhere to eat.  We will take these suggestions and hopefully create a library that is even more awesome!  So come along to the library with your friends and strike a pose in the photobooth.  It should be great fun and you get to keep a copy of the photos.  Check out Flavorwire‘s top 20 photobooth snaps of famous people, my favourite has to be this one of Morgan Freeman.

CPIT Library hook into buttons craze

The creative staff at CPIT Library spent hours making buttons using copyright free images on machines loaned from the CPIT School of Art and Design.

The buttons were given away to students at the CPIT Students Services Expo in exchange for answering a library related question.  Students were then placed in a draw to win from a selection of prizes including flash drives, watches, meal and coffee vouchers.
