Students enjoying both the toys and making their own paper airplanes during the Stress-Free Zone this week.

And it’s Bigger and Better than last year!

When? May 11-15 and 18-19 from 1:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Where? Library Lobby

This year, the zone features a poetry composition wall, paper airplane building station, and, on the Lower Level, short films and cartoons in room 0136. As with last year, Alicia Patrice, a certified yoga instructor, will offer free relaxation sessions in the Library Art Gallery on Monday and Wednesday, May 11 and 13, at 1:30.

Delineated by theater ropes and a tikki hut, this year’s Stress-Free Zone will be in the Browsing Section of the Library Lobby, between the Circulation Desk and the Art Gallery. This alcove contains comfy chairs, the Library’s newest books, and cards, games, and puzzles to take students’ minds off their finals for a short time. Once again, bubble-wrap will be on hand for stress-reducing popping. The Zone will available from 1:00 to 7:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, May 11-15, and Monday through Tuesday, May 18-19.

We’ve added a little programming, too. A Dramatic Poetry Reading, featuring Sacramento State theatre students, will take place at 3:00 on Tuesday, May 12, and on Thursday afternoon (TBA) May 14, there will be a special “escape to childhood” storytime presented by the Cat in the Hat (a Sacramento State alumna and local librarian).

There will still be plenty of quiet study space upstairs and on the lower level - the University Library just wanted to offer an alternative for students needing a study break.

ALOHA!
