Hope to see you here and good luck on your exams!
You’ve worked hard all semester and you’re almost done! We know finals are often the most stressful part of a student’s holiday season so we have a whole week of de-stressing activites to help keep you focused and productive. In addition to our daily events, our coloring table on the main floor will be available all week. All events are free and students may show up or leave at anytime.
Meditation Monday
12/3, 11am – 1pm, Library Rm 223
A quiet and low lit room will be provided for students to join in meditation. Participants are welcome to come and go as they need but please remember to enter and leave quietly so as not to disturb your fellow students.

Bodhi, CAPS official therapy dog, will be joining us to provide calming cuddly pet sessions to any student in need.

Take some time off from your last day of finals to help us complete some puzzles.
The John C. Hitt Library is happy to announce that the 1st Floor is now re-opened!
We had to close the 1st Floor late this summer to allow our crew the ability to clear out several stacks of books and re-arrange other parts of the collection. The construction crew also erected a temporary wall to allow further work on the connector building between the Library and the ARC building while keeping the 1st Floor in a usable state.
With the extra space now available from the removal of the stacks, we have relocated some of the furniture from the closed off portion of the 2nd Floor down to the new space on the 1st Floor. This new seating will allow for study and group work, but please be advised that the area will be noisy as it is located next to the construction site.
Need some holiday break reading?
UCF Libraries will be hosting a Take a Book, Leave a Book event on Monday, November 19 (the week of Thanksgiving break) from 11 am to 1 pm. The UCF community is welcome to browse the selection an take a book that they found interesting. If you would like to leave a book, you can do so but it is not required.
Early drop off locations for leaving a book are the Research & Information Desk of the John C. Hitt Library and UCF HR lobby (3280 Progress Drive in Research Park).
Campus buildings will close at 3.00 p.m. on Thursday, November 1, to make way for the traffic and excitement of UCF Knights football. But your John C. Hitt Library will remain open until 5.00 p.m. for as much reading, researching, studying, writing, and teamwork as you can fit in after your classes are over at 3.00. You will have plenty of time to get over to the stadium to tailgate before the band marches in for the 7.30 p.m. kickoff. Our undefeated Knights will face the Temple Owls. A well-balanced Knight blends fun, friends, and the life of the mind, right?
Go Knights! Charge On! Beat the Owls!
