New to ACU this semester? Welcome! Play our online orientation game to learn about the library and go in the lucky draw to receive a Kobo Libra Colour eReader.
If you've just started your ACU journey, getting familiar with the library is a great place to begin. Our orientation game, The Lost Scholar, is the perfect way to learn about library resources and services and only takes 5 minutes to complete.
Knowledge itself is pretty great, but so is free stuff, so we've added a lucky draw. Here's how it works:
You'll need to know your ACU login details to go into the draw, so have that info handy.
The game is completely online but if you're on campus, we encourage you to check out your library during O Week.
We're so glad to have you at ACU. Now get out there and uncover the key to infinite knowledge!
Whether you're tackling your next assignment or looking for a way to unwind, the Kobo Libra Colour is a handy companion for university life. Carry thousands of books, articles and readings wherever you go, and make revising easier with the highlighting and note-taking features. When it's time for a break, you can switch to your favourite novel, magazine or audiobook and enjoy some well-earned downtime. Lightweight and easy on the eyes, the Kobo Libra Colour helps you stay organised, read more and balance learning and wellbeing.
