Here at ASU, it’s that dreaded time of year: Finals Week! Students are pulling all-nighters and the sound of quiet sobbing is ever-present.
What’s your library doing to help your students through your school’s Finals Week?
In Hayden Library, info desk staff put out the Finals Week candy bowls. Librarians put together a Finals Week Survival Kit Library Guide to help students find needed info, fast. We also remind students that board games are available at the info desk for some mid-week de-stressing with friends. Hayden is open 24/7 now through the end of Finals Week, too! And I do believe there are also snack tables set out in the Concourse to give students a little energy boost.
ASU put on their Finals Breakfast last week. Breakfast meaning between 9 and midnight, for those planning all-night study sessions!

The UA has free coffee, a game night, therapy dogs, and a finals study break. Should be a few fun escapes from the crazy studying! http://www.library.arizona.edu/news/entries/view/2836
Up in the high country at NAU, we have a one night Stress Free Zone. We have back rubs, food, cartoons, toys and games and therapy dogs. It is a huge hit with students. Also, a local cafe is coming around multiple times to give out coffee and a student group is coming to the library to hand out healthy brain food.
