It’s holiday time up in the Library, and all the geese are shouting, “It’s Holi-yay! Rock out with your beak out.” This year we’ve created a comprehensive list of DIY activities to enjoy as you take a break and relieve some stress. We have so many activities, and you might need an assignment planner to help plan and time your DIYs. Okay, maybe it’s not that serious, but your assignments are! Check out the Library assignment planner and see how it could help you better break down your assignments into manageable steps.

Although this year we cannot gather to honour and remember, the Library has assembled this page to connect us virtually.
