Build Your Bookshelf Competition 2023

About

BUILD YOUR BOOKSHELF COMPETITION 2023 RMIT Vietnam Library's annual events and is dedicated specifically to our BOOK LOVERS.

Through this event, we encourage students and staff to read and discover more books inside our Library, to express themselves and their tastes through books, and to build a lifelong personal library that they can share with the RMIT community.

Entering the contest, contestants will curate, or “build”, a COLLECTION of books within a theme that reflects a part of themselves or what they are passionate about.
