Happenings

Library Finals Week Support
Find therapy animals (check our Hours page for the schedule), procrastination station activities, and love offerings in the form of warm caffeinated beverages and study snacks in the library beginning Reading Day (May 5). Note we're extending our hours until 1 am at night, and will be open 10 am-6 pm on Saturday.

Centering with Labyrinths
Celebrate World Labyrinth Day and take a mindful break during finals prep by checking out our labyrinth displays in the rotunda on the first floor.

Honoring Our Seniors
To honor graduating seniors who have worked as a student library assistant or associate, the library selects a book, dedicates it to the graduating senior, and adds it to our collection.  To peruse this year's books and honorees, check out the display on the Reference Desk.

Manga & Graphic Novels Collection Highlight
Check out our new featured mini collection of Manga and graphic novels on display behind the Reference Desk. Curated by Library Associate Piper Fisherman, this collection reflects some new purchases and titles that were already in our main collection. Please give them some use and have fun with the free coloring sheets!
