Unwind with the Cornell Companions at Uris Library!

Feeling stressed about prelims? Take a study break and join us in the Uris Library Dean Room on Tuesday, March 12th, from 12-1 pm, as the Cornell Companions make a special visit. Swing by, say hello to our four-legged friends, and let the wagging tails and happy faces melt your stress away.

If dogs aren’t your thing, consider joining a guided meditation in Room 703 at 12:15 pm, instead. Let’s Meditate offers free guided meditations in Olin Library every other Tuesday! You can find the full schedule here.

Special Building Hours at Olin & Uris Libraries During February Break

 Hello, students!

As February Break approaches, we want to ensure you have all the information you need for your library visits. Here are our special building hours during the break:

Olin Library

Friday, 2/23: 8 am – 6 pm

Saturday, 2/24, and Sunday, 2/25: 10 am – 6 pm

Monday, 2/26: 8 am – 9 pm

Uris Library closes one hour earlier, but the Cocktail Lounge and Tower Book Pickup location will still be open 24/7.

We’ll be back to our regular hours on Tuesday, 2/27 (8 am – midnight).

Whether you’re staying in Ithaca, or traveling somewhere exciting, why not browse our selection of New and Noteworthy books? Find something fun to read and make the most of your break! 

Or use Cornell University Library’s Overdrive collection through the Libby app to listen to audiobooks while you travel.

We look forward to seeing you at Olin & Uris and hope you have a restful break.

Meditation Opportunities at Olin Library

This semester, Olin Library is partnering with Cornell Health’s “Let’s Meditate” program to provide free, guided, mindfulness meditations in Olin Library Room 703. These meditation sessions are open to all members of the Cornell community, including students, faculty, and staff, and will take place every other Tuesday from 12-12:30 pm.

The meditations will be led by Cornell Health’s Travis Winter, LCSW.  You can find information about upcoming meditations and other events on the Olin Library Events Calendar.

If you can’t make it to our Tuesday meditations, or if you prefer to take a solo mindfulness break, Olin Library also has an Interfaith Serenity and Meditation Room located on the basement level.  This quiet meditation room is available for use during Olin Library’s open hours.
