Well-being Week @ the Libraries, Oct 5-9

YorkU Libraries are celebrating Fall Well-Being Week with engaging activities and resources to help our community feel supported, empowered and connected. From Zen Zones to Affirmation Walls, there is something for everyone - take time to relax, share positivity and prioritize your well-being.

Celebrate the power of positivity! Share uplifting messages, kind words and encouraging thoughts with fellow students.

Come make buttons that boost your mood! Add your own positive message and design something you’ll be proud to wear or share.


Tackle assignments, prep for exams, and share resources with peers in the Study Session. Enjoy a quiet, comfortable setting with relaxing music and refreshments. Stay motivated with the Library Student Success Mentors.

Take a moment to unwind in The Zen Zone, designed to help you de-stress and recharge during busy study days. Sink into comfy seating, enjoy the calming atmosphere with soft music and plants, and give yourself a well-deserved break. Also again on Friday 11am-4pm at Markham.


Do yourself a favour! Check out one of our wellness and self-help books online and on display!
