Free coffee, therapy dogs, later hours, quiet and silent study areas, and more!
How can Murphy Library help you do your absolute best during finals week? Use the resources below to keep your study groove going:
Free Coffee – Dining Services and Murphy Library are providing free coffee in the library at 8:00 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 15 and at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, Dec.16. Enough coffee will be on hand to serve 100 people, first come, first served.
Pet a Therapy Dog – pet away your worries on Friday, December 15 from approximately 1:30 - 3:00 p.m. on the first floor of the library. Our thanks to the Coulee Region Humane Society!
Silent Study Room – that’s right, this room is 100% silent. It’s Room 12, along the west wall of the library basement. The room seats 8 people, and everyone in the room takes a vow of silence, including no talking, whispering, cell phones, etc.!
Quiet Study and Group Study Areas – Use the library floorplans to identify officially-designated quite areas and group study rooms. Room 121 on the first floor will be open as an additional study area.
Individual Study Rooms – These small rooms are along the walls on the east side of the basement. While some of these are reserved, others are open and available on a walk-up basis.
Extra Computers - During finals week, the library will open the instruction classroom, which is Room 30 in the basement. It’s like another computer lab.
Extended Hours – The library stays open later during finals week, starting on Thursday and Friday, when it is open until 2:00 a.m. On Saturday, we're open until midnight; on Sunday – Tuesday, until 2:00 a.m.; and on Wednesday the library closes at 7:00 p.m. See all finals week hours here.
