In addition to these events, the Hicks Undergraduate Library will have art relaxation and bubble wrap stations located around the library and, new this year, there will be a Lego table located near the iDesk. Also, since therapy dog and cat teams will not able to visit due to the canine flu outbreak, we have banners for students to sign to let them know we hope to see them in the future. New this year, the Library will also have a Lego table located near the iDesk.
