Activity list
Tie-dye on the quad
Come join Albertsons Library on the quad to tie-dye tote bags, bookmarks, or something you bring, and then head inside the building for your chance to win big participating in the Albertsons Library scavenger hunt. Tie-dye volunteers will be able to mark off your card at the table.
Talk to Boise Public Library
Talk to representatives from Boise Public Library on the first floor of Albertsons Library about their yearly celebration of comics, artists, librarians and educators, the Boise Comic Arts Festival. Once you’ve talked to representatives from the Boise Public Library, they’ll be able to mark off your card at the table.
Chat with your librarian
On the first floor of Albertsons Library, find one of our Instruction Research Librarians, and let them know your intended major, or your favorite subject. They’ll then let you know who your dedicated library liaison for that area is. Next, start a chat from Albertsons Library’s homepage, and ask about databases for your subject. Once you’ve been armed with research knowledge, a librarian will mark off your card at the table.
Touch the first blue turf
Touch a piece of the original blue football turf in Special Collections and Archives on the second floor of Albertsons Library. Plus see photos of Boise State students throughout the decades. Once you’ve gotten a taste of Boise State University history, your card will be marked off.
