It’s dead week, and for many students that means it’s “lock yourself away from the world to focus and study” week. Finals will begin in just a few days, and stress and anxiety often accompany the end of the semester. But this week students have the opportunity to participate in a few activities designed to relieve some of that stress and anxiety.
“Several libraries across the country have done stress reduction fairs, so it is mentioned at library conferences and sessions that we attend,” said Jean Waldrop, director of Brackett Library. “We had talked about it for awhile, but I was hesitant to do this because the library is very crowded this time of year and already tight on space. The librarians did some brainstorming and decided that we could create some new spaces by bringing in some extra tables from physical resources and finding places where activities would fit.”
