Prep for Midterms at UK Libraries Fall Open House
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Oct. 3, 2018) — University of Kentucky Libraries will host a week of open houses at many of its campus locations Oct. 7-12 just in time to help students gear up for midterms.
In addition to browsing thought-provoking exhibits and displays, featuring some of UK Libraries more unique collections, students will have a chance to be connected to important library services and resources that can aid success on exams, projects and papers. The open houses will also be a great opportunity for students to scope out new spaces for enjoying a bit of solitude or engaging socially with peers from all disciplines.
And because every happy (open) house needs a dog, UK Libraries has joined forces with UK4Paws to offer a bit of puppy magic during this busy and stressful time. In addition, there will be fun activities and free snacks each day. Students who visit each location will also be eligible for a chance to win a gift basket with UK swag.
UK Libraries open house schedule will be as follows:
- 6-8 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 7, kickoff in The Hub at William T. Young Library;
- 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Monday, Oct. 8, Hunter M. Adams College of Design Library;
