Stress-Less at the Library. Refuel, Relax, Recharge!

Stress-Less at the Bentley Library
co-sponsored by the Bentley Library and CSD Develop U Peer Educators

The art gallery has been transformed into a stress-free zone for exam period.  While the gallery is always a quiet, contemplative place, this week we’ve equipped the space with stress-busting activities to help you renew, regroup and refresh. You’ll find jigsaw puzzles, crosswords, and other quiet games to give your brain a break.

May 1 – May 3 the gallery will be stocked with water and snack bars to help you re-energize!

Thank you to the Develop U Peer Educators for their assistance and co-sponsorship of “Stress-Less”.
