Stress Relief @ the Library

During finals week, the words ‘library’ and ‘stress relief’ usu-

ally don’t go hand-in-hand. This semester, we’re hoping to

change that! Mark your calendar for Wed., April 29th, when

we’ll be hosting an all-day supply of coffee, water, fruit, and

snack bars to help you power through. On the Griffin cam-

pus, we’ll be setting aside the Library Conference room for

you to grab a power break, stretch, and recharge your

batteries. On the Flint River campus, we’ll have snacks and

stress relief tips in the library.
