In preparation of this addition, we needed your help to name the official mascots for the collection- our fidget slugs. You submitted possible names, voted on your top 2, and then determined which name for each slug based on vibes. Passionate opinions on linguistics and color theory were shared, backstories were created, and finally we have: Gleeb, Glorb, and Grape Juice, the CECH Library Fidget Slugs. Visit them this fall in our study room!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8cf370e7 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/liblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/PXL_20250311_122922620-1-scaled-e1746026269483-1200x675.jpg\" alt=\"Three plastic, striped toy slugs.
