Cookie Break fall 2010 was a huge success! Thanks to all who set up, staffed tables, cleaned up afterward and to everyone in the Library who baked the largest amount of goodies in cookie break history! And thanks to Zeke’s Café for providing free coffee for all of the diligent students in Dimond Library and the branches.

Rachel Gogan at the Biological Sciences branch library has shared some photos. Also see some photos from Dimond Library during their Cookie break.

If you have more photos or feedback to share, just post a comment below.

And remember that there are more events the rest of the week to provide some stress relief, like last night’s primal scream in Dimond Library. Students gathered in the atrium at 10pm to let off some steam by screaming for a minute.

Good luck with finals!
