As we get closer to midterm season, put in some weekend study sessions at the Library. Traffic is slower so there's less noise, more prime study spots, and group study rooms available. Find a study partner to hold you accountable. You'll be glad you did at the end of the month! #FresnoState

The sun's out again! Check out a hotspot from the library and do some homework outside this week! Bask in the sunshine, take in the contrast of the grass and sky, and get that degree. FresnoState

Y'all! When we weren't looking, the 2nd Floor North became a riot of ART! There are exhibits highlighting local Black women artists, Ramadan, women at Fresno State, and the Laureate Lab Wordist Studio. It's the most dynamic floor in the whole library right now! #FresnoState

First Friday of February: how do you want to feel at the end of the weekend? Plan your activities to chase that feeling! Book a study session. Plan coffee with friends. Schedule time for a nap. Make time for what you need and what you want. Everything else will follow. #fresnostate #FeelGoodFriday
