Relaxing & Self-Care

Our collection of prayer and mindfulness resources contains prayer rugs, scarves, and exercise mats. Located on the fourth floor near the stairwell, these resources can be borrowed for use anywhere within the library - please just return them to their home once you're done. 

We have a selection of games and puzzles that can be enjoyed throughout the library, including:

• Apples to Apples
• Little Feminist
• Banagrams 
• Qwirkle
• Machi Koro
• Taboo
• and more!

They are located on the back wall of the second floor; please return them there when done playing.
