Wellness Initiatives at the U of A Libraries

Did you know that the library is more than just books and research help?  We care about your wellness too!  Here are some wellness initiatives the University of Alberta Libraries support to help you take care of YOU:

1. Sun lamps – or SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) lamps


Borrow one at many of our library service desks for up to an hour to brighten your day and curb those winter blues.



2. Dogs in the Library



Dog visits are scheduled for the fall and winter terms.  Check the schedule to view all upcoming dog visits. You can even limit to your favourite library. 


3. Energy lamps and blue blocking glasses – NEW!  












The Scott library is rolling out a new initiative to help you get a better night’s sleep and increase wakefulness during the day.  Be one of the first to try them!  More info coming soon.


4. Sit/stand desks

                       

Stand while you work, using one of our automated sit/stand desks. Now at all libraries!


5. Treadmill desks

Coutts, Scott and Cameron Library have desks where you can get some walking in, without losing time for studying.  This is especially handy for the upcoming snowy months.  Perfect for the multitasker! 

6. Activity kits

Each activity kit contains a skipping rope, resistance bands, pedometer, gliding disks and exercise cards.  Visit a library to check one out and take it home today!



The University of Alberta Libraries and staff care about your wellness.  Visit us today!  :)
