Wellness week

You’re working hard to finish the semester strong. We’re here for you with study breaks, longer hours, and helpful resources. 

For the last week of classes and finals week, the Library’s Events Room, LIB 121, transforms into the Wellness Room — a place where you can do your work, get a snack, or take time to unwind. 

  • Monday through Thursday, 7 a.m. – midnight*
  • Friday, 7 a.m. – 7 p.m.
  • Saturday, noon – 6 p.m.
  • Sunday, noon – 9 p.m.

Refresh & refuel

We'll have games, activities, snacks, and other resources available in the Wellness Room or at the outreach desk anytime the Library building is open.

  • Exchange support with your fellow Gators on the affirmation wall.
  • Take a mindful break with origami and coloring pages from Health Promotion & Wellness.
  • Relax and work on a puzzle.
  • Stretch your creative muscles at the zine station. 
  • Feed your brain with a light snack, courtesy of Food+Shelter+Success.

      Get support 

      We want to help you meet your goals! You can:

      • Talk to a peer mentor at the desk inside the Main Library doors.
      • Stop by the Tutoring & Academic Support Center (TASC) in LIB 220 on the second floor.
        • Check out TASC's special evening Study Hall event, featuring open study, guided focus time, and refreshments from 5 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, May 16 – 18, in the Teaching & Learning Commons (LIB 286).
      • Get one-on-one research help from a librarian who knows your subject area.
      • Ask a librarian 24/7 using our chat widget. Start a new chat by clicking the yellow icon at the lower right corner of any page. You’ll always reach a person, even at 2 a.m.!

      Stay late to study for finals

      We always keep our late study spaces open a little later at the end of the semester.

      • You can stay in the Wellness Room, Study Commons, or lobbies an hour longer Monday through Thursday (till midnight) and three extra hours on Sunday (till 9 p.m.). Our Friday and Saturday hours are the same as usual.
      • The first two floors of the Main Library also have extended hours on weekdays: till midnight Monday through Thursday and till 7 p.m. Friday, May 19.
      • We'll return to our regular hours on Commencement Day, May 26.

    * The Wellness Room will be closed briefly on Tuesday, May 16, from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m.
