10th Anniversary Video Contest

University Library, How Do I Love Thee? Let Me Count the Ways! Video Contest

Help us celebrate the Library’s 10th birthday by making a video love letter to the University Library. We don’t want to be the best kept secret on campus. This is your chance to share with the world the unique reasons why you love your Library and how it has impacted you.

Do you love having a giant latte after a nap in the Reading Room? Are research papers your favorite thing because you get to visit your librarian? Is your obsession with dinosaurs fueled by our rapid inter-library loan process? Do you roam the stacks in search of inspiration?

Share the library love!

  • Video Submissions due Thursday, April 10th. Email your video link to context@csusm.edu to enter the contest. See rules and prizes below.
  • Video Contest Film Screening on Thursday, April 17th, 5-6:30 pm, University Library 3400. Join us to watch submitted videos, silkscreen the library logo onto your own t-shirt or tote bag, make library buttons, and more!
