With the increasing pressures faced by students, our library has taken the initiative to create a range of engaging, non-traditional events that provide stress relief while fostering a strong connection between students and the library. Events such as laser tag, mini golf, and game nights draw students into the library in unexpected and exciting ways. Since hosting these events, we have seen a noticeable increase in student engagement. Our students feel more at ease with the library environment and are more likely to approach librarians for academic assistance and support.
