Therapy Pets Return for Study Monday

Screen Shot 2013-12-15 at 9.38.16 PM

The ever-popular Therapy Pets (dogs, bunnies, and new this time – a Guinea pig!) will be in the OSF Library rotunda

6-8pm on Monday, December 16th.

Is a little snuggle from a friendly dog just what you need to rejuvenate your studying?

Would watching a few hops from a fluffy (and amazingly talented) bunny give you enough of a boost of energy to power you through finishing that page of APA citations?

You’re in luck!  Everyone is welcome to take a few moments’ break from the stress of finals, receive some fluffy encouragement, and spend time with other animal lovers before heading back to work.

As always, remember that library staff are available to assist you find any information you need to complete your work.  Please don’t hesitate to ask!

Stress Free Zone @ UST Libraries

Is studying for finals getting you down?  Stress Free Zone

From Monday-Friday of this week, stop by the library’s Stress Free Zone, located in the Leather Room (#108), to enjoy a break from your studies. Puzzles, games, coloring, and other stress-reducing activities will be available, along with healthy study and finals stress management tips.

The ever-popular Therapy Pets, both dogs and bunnies, will also be returning to the OSF library rotunda from 6-8pm on Study Monday, 12/16.  Check this blog and the UST Libraries Facebook page for more information.

Remember: studies show that taking regular breaks can help concentration and increase productivity, especially if you let yourself relax during the break.

Amidst all of the stress, we hope you get a chance to relax this week, and as always, let any library staff know if there is something we can do to help you finish your work!
