MSU Library Stress Relief Guide

Stress Relief Activities

 

 

Some times school can be little bit "ruff." Take the stress off by spending time with an animal!

We hope these animal pictures give you a warm fuzzy feeling. The library brings in a variety of animals throughout the semester to help provide a brain break, and hosts the Paws to De-Stress event before finals begin.

Giant cockroaches can be relaxing too!

Most of the animals during Paws to De-Stress are dogs, but sometimes there's a cat.

Sometimes there's a donkey at Paws to De-Stress! This is Oliver.

Giant rabbits!

Although they're not trained therapy animals, alpacas can also help you de-stress.
Thanks to our friends at Alpacas of Montana for bringing the alpacas to the library!
