We are smiling at this scene from yesterday when Chris Jans came to cheer on students studying for exams. We can also still HEAR the stampede that occurred when Coach announced free food! We wonder who might show up next!

As we work to meet the needs of our evolving students, we now have an Interfaith Prayer and Meditation Room (3021), Sensory Room (3123) and Learn & Burn Exercise Room (3205), as well as studymills on the second floor. We'd love you to visit them and share your thoughts.

When MSU says we are FaMily, we mean it! Our students always support our athletic teams, and - when it matters most - athletics returns the favor! Thank you Chris Jans and Mississippi State Men's Basketball for showing up BIG (and with free food) for students studying in the library! #HailState

Any day therapy dogs visit the library is a great day! Thank you Quinn and Chellie for coming and destressing our students (and staff)! Throughout exams Quinn and his friend Kanga will come hang out. Stop by for some doggy therapy. We promise it will make you feel better!

Two local therapy dogs will join us at various times over the next week to help students destress. Take a student break and come enjoy some pet therapy.
