Events - old

As the semester comes to an end and finals prep begins, the library's here to help you Stay Afloat. We have extended our hours and that means additional access to academic supports and counseling. Study breaks are a must so you can take your choice of scavenger hunts, crafts, movies, or a visit with a therapy dog. Did we mention the pizza and free printing? 

Check out the schedule of events below and find out how to win the grand prize of a VIP Study Room package.
