Free time between classes? Need to relax for a bit? Stop by the Clermont College Library.
We’ve set up a game table, where you can play Jenga, Battleship, or Connect Four.
Playing games helps decrease stress and can improve critical thinking. Spending time having fun may be the boost needed to get back to that research paper or clear your mind to study for a test.
As the semester winds down, take a half-an-hour and enjoy some healthy competition.

This month, stop by between classes and practice the art 
of origami. We’ll have a table set up with instructions and origami paper provided. Use this as a time to relax during the busy day or just explore the craft of paper folding.
The crane is one of the most popular pieces of origami. According to National Geographic, the crane was thought to live for 1,000 years and became a symbol of hope.
