The Library’s semi annual cookie break took place today between 2 and 4 at Dimond and all four branch libraries. This tradition has become quite popular with students and this year it was extra special because Wild E. Cat stopped by Dimond Library to help us with our “Respect the Q” campaign (designed to identify and enforce quiet zones in the Library).

While the line for free cookies (homemade by Library faculty and staff and donated by the Parent’s Association) and coffee donated by Dining Services are long, when Sherry Vellucci, Dean of the University Library, told a student to be sure to have his picture taken with Wild E., he responded “does it get any better than this?!?”

The library invites you to Cookie Break on Wednesday, May 13th at 2pm! Please join us at Dimond Library and all the branch libraries to enjoy a study break with home-baked cookies and coffee.

Cookie Break is sponsored by UNH Library faculty and staff, Computing and Information Services, and the Parents Association.

Many thanks to the Parents Association, and the faculty and staff who baked cookies, brought in treats, set up, cleaned up, delivered cookies to the branch libraries, and did everything else to make the fall Cookie Break a success!
