While the libraries have a deep collection of resources for academic and research use, we also have many resources that you can enjoy when you just need a bit of a break.

We have books, music, films, and more, many of which are available to you online.  The resources on this guide are grouped by type:

  • Books: Get lost in a good book, or find a book about meditation, relaxation, and taking a break.
  • Films: We have a bunch of movies and films, including major motion pictures and documentaries and tv shows.  Many are streaming online, some are available on DVD.
