Celebrate Europe Day on May 9

May 6, 2014 Marlo MacKay

In celebration of Europe Day, May 9, the Killam Library has organized a display in the library’s lobby that will be exhibited throughout the week.

Teaming up with the European Union Centre of Excellence (EUCE) at Dalhousie, the display showcases books, eBooks, information and interesting facts about the European Union. The theme for this year is Europe and World. The EUCE was established at Dalhousie University in 2006 and is funded jointly by the European Union and Dalhousie. It is one of five Centres across Canada and part of a network around the globe.
