Launch of the Gould Library 'Pause & Play' Area in the Rookery

Thu, May 7, 2026 • 12:00pm - 1:00pm (1h) • Gould Library Rookery, 4th Floor
Join us on Thursday, May 7th from 12 - 1 pm, for the grand opening of the new 'Pause & Play' area in the Rookery of the Gould Library!

Created by the Library IDE Committee and funded by a grant from the Southeastern Library System, Pause & Play is designed to support students by prioritizing mental health and emotional well-being. Far from being frivolous, engaging in "play for the sake of play" is a vital tool to reduce the rising levels of stress, anxiety, and burnout currently facing post-secondary students. Stop by to explore a variety of stress-busting resources and to use the space for "micro-breaks"—short, restorative tasks unrelated to study that are proven to increase productivity, recall, and attention when you return to your work.

So give yourself the permission to 'Pause & Play' and discover how recharging can benefit your academic and personal life at Carleton.
