Matadors, Oviatt Library is here for you during finals! We’ve got lots of study breaks and opportunities to recharge.<\/p>\n

\"buttonmaking\"Starting on Saturday, pick up a finals survival kit<\/strong>: a pillow or earplugs, a fresh pen or highlighter, and a little something sweet to keep you going. Available at the Guest Services desk while supplies last.<\/p>\n

Monday afternoon (Dec. 12, 1-4pm) we’ll have arts & crafts<\/strong> in the ASRS Viewing Room on the main floor. \u00a0Make a custom button badge, color with crayons, or just smush some Play-Doh to let the stress out.<\/p>\n

If you can’t join us, you can download some library coloring pages to unwind on your own. \u00a0Try coloring some medieval manuscripts<\/a>, botanical drawings<\/a>, and more<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tuesday afternoon (Dec. 13, noon-4pm), join us for guided meditation<\/strong> in room 251 (second floor, inside Music & Media). \u00a0Give yourself a few minutes to breathe deeply, sip some tea, and be present. \u00a0You’ll have more focus when you resume studying.<\/p>\n

If you’d rather meditate on your own – or right now! – try some online guided meditations<\/a>. Even five minutes can bring more mental clarity.<\/p>\n

\"therapydog\"<\/p>\n

Tuesday afternoon\u00a0(Dec. 13, noon-4pm) will also bring everyone’s favorite study break – therapy dogs<\/strong>! \u00a0Join these friendly pups for some cuddles in the ASRS viewing room.<\/p>\n

Wednesday afternoon\u00a0(Dec. 14, 1-4pm) we’ll have more arts & crafts<\/strong> in the ASRS viewing room.<\/p>\n

All week, you’ll be able to check out board games<\/strong> from Guest Services, and the Media Wall will be showing fun, calming videos – everything from kitten cams<\/a> to a roaring log fire in a hearth<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When you’re ready to get back to the books, you can get research and citation help 24 hours a day, 7 days a week<\/a>. \u00a0Oviatt Library is open 7AM-3AM<\/a> all this week.<\/p>\n

Good luck! You can do it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
