Exam time!

Wishing you all the best as you take your exams. A few reminders (because we can't help it...)

• Make sure you get enough sleep
• Take short study breaks to help you refocus
• Eat healthy foods like nuts and apples. Stay away from the energy drinks! 
• Motivate yourself. Every day. Write your motivation on a post-it where you can see it. 
• Don't get overwhelmed. Even the biggest task can be broken down into smaller ones. 
• If things get a bit loud and busy at your house, come study at the library. We have quiet study rooms.

The ideas above were paraphrased from this wonderful blog post. Read it if you have a minute. She has many good suggestions.

We're listening!

Please take our library survey. Your responses will help us improve our library services and resources.
