Staying sustainable
Griffith Library has partnered with Terracycle to recycle oral care product packaging. Each campus library has special recycling bins for you to deposit oral care waste such as toothpaste tubes, toothbrushes and floss containers. Join Griffith Library in making a change and bring in your old oral care waste next time you come into campus!

Free workshops
There are a variety of workshops available to students through Griffith Library designed to develop your skills in a range of areas including researching, referencing and writing assignments. Check out Earlybird Workshops for more information!
Human Library
Griffith Library often hosts a ‘Human Library’. The Human library is where staff and students have the opportunity ‘read’ a person instead of a book, giving you the chance to hear interesting stories (both good and bad) from someone you would otherwise never meet, bridging the gap between social and cultural differences.
Competitions!
Griffith Library often hold competitions and giveaways for all students to get involved in! At Logan campus in 2018 there was the ‘guess the number of beach balls’ competition and the ‘Then and Now’ competition on Instagram in January gave us a look at how Nathan campus has changed over the decades. Not only are they fun, but there are prizes to be won! So, keep a look out for Griffith Library’s next competition!
