Activities offered for Finals Week
Posted on December 9th, 2021
As the end of the semester nears, Booth Library staff members are planning many activities to help students focus, relax and succeed.
On Monday and Tuesday, members of All Things Pawsitive will bring certified therapy dogs to greet students from 2-6 p.m. in the library’s South Lobby. At 5 p.m. Monday, free hot cocoa and snacks will be served to students while supplies last.
Mad-libs, coloring pages, dot-to-dot sheets and Sudoku puzzles are available to take and complete on your own. In addition, a jigsaw puzzle, Scrabble board and group coloring page are set up on the main floor.
While you’re at Booth, let your friends and families know how you’re preparing for final exams by sending them a “Don’t worry, I’m at Booth Library!” postcard. Students are encouraged to fill out and address a postcard, then place it in the mailbox. Your friends at Booth Library will mail it for you!
All activities and refreshments are free.
