**Literature and Book Days ** Eyüboğlu Literature and Book Days are organized with a view to emphasizing the fact that reading is of utmost importance for developing knowledge, communication skills and a perspective on the world. In the Literature and Book Days which are organized with a different theme and slogan each year, the objective is to contribute to students’ developing the pleasure and habit of reading.

Within the scope of Eyüboğlu Literature and Book Days, each year, we name one of the symbolic “avenues” in our Library and Media Center after a renowned Turkish author. In 2005 Atilla İlhan Avenue and in 2006 Sabahattin Eyüboğlu Avenue were opened with a ceremony held in the Library.
