finals

Check out these Reading Day Relief and final exams period stress relief activities at the library! Take care of yourselves as we enter the final stretch of the semester. Be sure to eat well, get plenty of sleep, and take frequent study breaks.

Don't forget that library staff are here to help with everything from printing, to booking a study room, to conducting research and creating citations. No question is too big or too small.

Additionally, the library’s classroom on the lower level (room 11) will be open throughout exams as a bonus quiet study space to accommodate more students. We expect the library to be busy during exams—please be respectful of those studying around you.

Stop by for snacks and drinks starting at 11:00 a.m. and then stick around for some button making and a Street Art Workshop with Percy Fortini Wright in the afternoon!
