De-stress Resources

Taking a break to do something else besides study is a great relaxer. 

  • Leisure Reading 
    • Check out a variety of popular ebooks and audiobooks on the Libby app by OverDrive - learn more. If traditional physical books are more your vibe, make sure to check out our Leisure Reading Collection located by Murphy's Mug in the library.
  • Coloring 
    • Coloring supplies are available at the Circulation Help Desk! 
  • Board games  
    • A selection of games, such as Chess, Mancala, and more, are also available at the Circulation Help Desk!

Free Kid's Books and Boxes

Browse the carts in the library lobby and take as many free kid's books as you want! These books were recently removed from the library shelves to make room for newer books. First come first served!

And empty boxes! To carry your stuff home or off to your new destination! 

Cite Your Sources

Writing up your bibliography can be tricky, but librarians have put together a Citing Sources guide full of tips and resources to help you create your citations.

Tutoring 

Tutoring sessions are available in person in the Murphy Learning Center in Murphy 251 and 273. Additionally, The Writing Center and Public Speaking Center offer sessions through video via the MLC course in Canvas. More information can be found on the MLC webpage.

Good luck with finals, Eagles!
