Under the bright autumn sun and amid the faint scent of books, a unique pop-up orientation event came to life on September 5th at the square in front of the main campus library. Titled "First Encounter with the Library: The Scent of Books Awaits New Students," the event used creativity as the brush and enthusiasm as the ink to welcome the 2025 cohort of "little parrots." Through rich and engaging interactions, new students not only effortlessly unlocked the first stop of their university academic journey but also embarked on a wonderful first encounter with the library in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

A Melodic Opening: The Warmest First Encounter

As the event began, a figure illuminated the square—a library staff member, guitar in hand, strummed the strings, and familiar youthful melodies filled the air. The relaxed posture of playing and singing, coupled with catchy tunes, captured the attention of passing new students like a refreshing breeze. This innovative artistic opening conveyed the library's message in the most vibrant way to all the "little parrots": this is not just a knowledge space housing countless volumes but also a learning harbor filled with songs, warmth, vibrant energy, and a lively atmosphere.

"Research" at the Southern Medical Library: Easily Take the Initiative on Research Information

During the event, library staff enthusiastically approached new students, introducing them to the research treasures of the Southern Medical Library. By following the library's official account, saving training lecture videos, or sharing freshman guides, students could receive practical gifts like document folders, notebooks, or canvas bags. Through this "light interaction, high-value" approach, the library helped "little parrots" understand the "family assets" of academic support right from the start of their studies, allowing research awareness to sprout early and laying a solid foundation for future academic exploration.

A Beautiful Start: Embarking on a New Journey with Books

This ingenious pop-up event, a first encounter connecting "new" and "knowledge," opened the prologue to the university academic journey for the 2025 "little parrots." The event served both as a "resource navigation station"—using lightweight interactions to make the library's database treasures and academic lecture resources tangible, helping new students know "where to find research support" from day one—and an "image showcase"—reshaping the image of the university library through innovative formats and immersive humanistic care: it is a hall of knowledge and, moreover, a warm, vibrant, and youth-understanding "academic partner." From "first encounter" to "constant companion," the Southern Medical Library's support never falters. We will continue to use high-quality resources and thoughtful services as our pen, accompanying "little parrots" as they build strength on their research paths and grow roots in the scent of books, jointly writing a youthful verse of "using knowledge as wings, moving toward the light," and witnessing every dream that sets out from here blossom.
