THIBODAUX, La. —  It\u2019s finals time, and to-do lists around campus are bursting at the seams. Having a limited amount of time to get everything done is stressful, so the library has some events to help students cope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of Destress Fest, the Ellender Memorial Library<\/a> will be hosting Take a Paws from noon to 2 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 10 at the library\u2019s side lawn, and Yoga @ the Library from noon to 1 p.m. on Monday Dec. 13 in the multipurpose room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne of our top priorities is to help students succeed,\u201d said Elizabeth Batte<\/a>, library director. \u201cWhether that be providing space for them to study or offering special programming like yoga and Take a Paws, we want to help all Colonels succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Take a Paws, the Library partners with Hope for Animals<\/a>, a non-profit that rescues and fosters animals until adoption. The event will feature dogs and puppies on the library lawn for attendees to play with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis event will help students by providing a break from finals with an activity that is fun and beneficial to their stress management,\u201d said Brandy Burbante<\/a>, cataloging librarian. \u201cA representative from University Counseling Services will be there to provide education on pet therapy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students from the Pre-Vet Club are also volunteering to help care for the dogs while they are on campus and mingle with attendees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Yoga @ the Library, trainers from the Harold J. Callais Memorial Recreation Center<\/a> will help students find a more calm mental space while in the Multipurpose Room on the third floor. Please bring your own mats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think having a session of Yoga in the library can potentially give them another opportunity to relax or destress,\u201d said Dr. Rob Stephens<\/a>, research and instruction librarian and outreach coordinator. \u201cThey can literally study, walk into the next room and do yoga, and then go back and study again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outside of these events, the Library also has other resources to help with finals. The librarians and staff are always available to assist students with research, finding resources, navigating databases, printing, renting technology, and more. During the week of finals, the library will extend its hours to stay open until 1 a.m., Dec. 13-15. Students can use the third floor as a quiet space to study for finals or book a study room on the second floor to work as a group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStudents should not overlook the opportunity to meet with a librarian for a research consultation,\u201d said Dr. Stephens. \u201cIt’s an amazing way to get help with finding research, picking a topic, citing sources, and so much more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
