Need a quick, quiet break to reset your brain? Stop by the library and take a peek at the Brain Break Cart! It's stocked with quiet activities like Sudoku, coloring pages, puzzles & calm partner games designed to give your brain a rest before you jump back into work.

🧠 How to use an activity from the cart:

  1. Check Out Required: You must use your ID badge to check out an activity from the library desk.
  2. ID Exchange: Your ID badge will be held at the desk until you return the activity.
  3. Vibe Check: Keep the noise level low and chill. Use the activities quietly so everyone can focus and relax.

Stop by the library next time you need a quick mental breather!

See the library staff if you have any questions!
