Alongside the reading movement, the university also launched the third edition of the HaUI Library Writing Contest. This contest aims to encourage students to share their thoughts and experiences about the library – a treasure trove of invaluable knowledge. It is not only a creative playground but also an opportunity for students to express their perspectives on the library's role in their academic and research journey.

The contest focuses on various themes, such as impressions of HaUI Library's space and resources, the library's role in academic pursuits, interesting stories, and memorable experiences related to the library. The best essays will be published on the university's media platforms and awarded attractive prizes.
