: Looking for a little calm this Michaelmas term?

The Radcliffe Science Library Programme is offering more free activities to help you step away from work for a while, recharge and connect with others.

🍵 Every Wednesday, in term, pick up a free hot drink between 10am and 12pm from the RSL vending area.

👷 Also on Wednesdays, come back for LEGO Lunch from 1–2pm in the Wellbeing Room. Build something impressive, build something ridiculous, or just enjoy putting bricks together for an hour. No LEGO expertise required.

☕ On Tuesday 10 and Thursday 19 November, have a hug in a mug. The RSL will serve free hot chocolate (inc. vegan options) in the Wellbeing Room from 11am–12pm.

🎲 On 24 November, drop in for a Board Game Evening from 5.30–7pm, exclusively for students. Snacks and drinks are provided. (This event must be booked in advance.)

🍰 Tuesday 1 December will see the Shredding of the Worry Box! The RSL will take all the anxieties that people have posted over the term and shred them. With added hot drinks and cake, it’s a pretty good way to mark the final stretch of Michaelmas.

🐕 And finally, on Thursday 3 December, the Therapy Dogs are back! If you’re missing a four-legged friend from home, or simply fancy some calm time with a friendly dog, drop into the Wellbeing Room between 12–1pm.

You can find all these events on a new Michaelmas Wellbeing Term Card, available to pick up in print at the Radcliffe Science Library or on the library’s blog.
