Ways to De-Stress<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We are hosting a few opportunities for you to take a break from the busyness of this time of year that we hope you\u2019ll take advantage of! <\/p>\n\n\n\n On Friday, December 12 at 2pm, stop by the Makerspace for our Holiday D\u00e9cor Workshop<\/a>. Make gifts and d\u00e9cor for the holidays with help from staff on the laser cutter and 3D printers. Some possible ideas include: 3D printed trinkets, custom greeting cards, 3D printed cookie cutters, laser cut ornaments, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n And what’s a better way to take your mind off things than playing around….with our games. Calling all game players…digital and board! On December 13 starting at 11 am, we’ll have our Virtual Reality Lab open and ready for video gaming on the consoles and PC, as well as some tables set aside for playing board games. Bring your study group for a much needed break, or play some library staff and fellow students. You can see some of the games we have available to play and check out in the library’s online catalog.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 24\/7 Live Online Chat<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Want to get online help right now…anytime on any day? You can contact us 24\/7 via chat<\/a> to get answers to your questions. Both Charles Library<\/a> and Ginsburg Library<\/a> have rooms that you can book to work alone or in a group<\/a>.
