The Librarian of the Social Sciences Students' Association (SOSSA), Adekoya Adebayo, has disclosed the initiative behind the just-concluded SOSSA Literary Jam held on March 6, 2025 at the Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), Ago-Iwoye Campus.
The event, which brought together spoken word artists, poets, and writers on the campus, is said to have been birthed from the Literary Symposium, an initiative owned by the emeritus SOSSA librarian.
"The SOSSA Literary Jam was birthed from the Literary Symposium, an initiative owned by the emeritus SOSSA librarian. For months, we hosted inspiring online book reviews and literary sessions virtually," Adebayo said.
The Librarian further elaborated on the exciting ways online engagement has inspired a shift towards more interactive experiences that extend beyond the digital realm.
"These consistent online engagements sparked the idea to move beyond the screen to create a physical space where writers, poets, and creatives can gather, perform, and celebrate literature together.
"Thus, the Literary Jam was born a live celebration of creativity and expression," he added.
Adebayo reiterated that the Library Jam is a step forward in reviving literary excellence and fostering unity through creative expression.
"With support from Campus Mirror, Penbleeds & Co., OOU Lads, Marveliar Initiative, and Choral Court Literati, the event was more than a gathering; it was a cultural rebirth. Adebayo noted that the Literary Jam is a step forward in reviving literary excellence and fostering unity through creative expression."
