Welcome to campus. The library wishes you a summer of research success!
The Writing Center, available within the library, will be closed for the summer session.
To help students relax while finishing out the semester, the McGoogan Library will host relaxation breaks during the weeks of April 24 and May 1, 2017. All are welcome, so take a break, and come join us!
Pet Therapy — Volunteers from Paws for Friendship, a local pet therapy organization in Omaha, will bring dogs to visit and help you de-stress. Join us outside of the Sorrell Center in the Commons Area on Tuesday, April 25, 11:30am-1:00pm.
Yoga Session – Try a Chaturanga Dandasana at our relaxing yoga session, led by Jane Smith, in partnership with the Center for Healthy Living. Yoga mats will be provided, but please feel free to bring your own. Join us in the Wilson Training Room, located on the 8th floor of the library, on Friday, April 28, 11am-12pm.
Snack Break – Come grab a healthy snack in the Linder Lounge, located on the 6th floor of the library. Snacks will be available starting at 1:00pm on Wednesday May 3 (while supplies last).
If you would like some additional relaxation, you are welcome to spend time in the library’s Reflection Room located on the 8th floor of the library, or around the Wellness Corner, located on the northwest side of the 6th floor. Massage chairs are located in both areas.
On Monday, March 20, at 4:30-5:30pm, the library will host a meeting with an architectural consulting firm to work on a program statement for the library renovation. While the library has some student survey data, we do want students to have the opportunity to tell consultants about study space needs and what should be part of a renovated library. Students at all stages of their academic career are welcome!
Bring you ideas and be part of the plan. RSVP required to Emily Glenn (emily.glenn@unmc.edu).
