It's that time of year again and your librarians are here to remind you that it's so important to take good care of yourself and your nervous system during these high-stress times. Below are just a few - hopefully fun - ways to help do that:

• Easy and delicious study snack recipes and ideas. Brain fuel!
• Digital jigsaw puzzles of the library!
• Krill Waves Radio - From the Monterey Bay Aquarium comes lofi music (great to study to) paired with meditative video of sea creatures! They also have great live streams of jellyfish and penguins
• Flint Handmade Coloring Pages - Free coloring pages by local artists, some even of our gorgeous Flint murals! 
• Yoga With Adriene | Yoga for Mental Health playlist - Lots of great yoga/meditation/breathing videos anywhere from 5-40 minutes long
• Goodful 10 minute meditations (YouTube playlist)
• CRIM Wellness Resources include recordings of guided meditations, yoga practices, and breathing exercises
• StorytimeOnline and Read Along with PBS Kids (YouTube playlists) have actors and celebrities reading children's books out loud! A great way to escape for a few minutes. 

Hope you enjoy, and best of luck on your final exams and projects! You can do it!
