Monday, May 2: Swag.

Tuesday, May 3: Coffee and donuts.

• Lexis and Westlaw are providing Krispy Kreme donuts and free coffee pods. We try to pace the donuts throughout the day, but supplies tend to run out quick.

Wednesday, May 4: Snacks. 

• Come enjoy snacks, fruit, and some small candies courtesy of Bloomberg, Lexis, and the Law Library. We've got a wide variety a granola bars, a little bit of candy, and even some cookie packs. 

In addition to the items listed above, we've printed out some coloring sheets to give you a creative outlet. If you return your sheets to the tray provided on the first floor, we might display some of your artwork around the library.
