PJ & Red Shirt Day at Leddy Library

Midterms have arrived, and if your brain is fried and your motivation is running on snacks and caffeine, you are not alone.

On Friday, February 13, Leddy Library is hosting a PJ and Red Shirt Day to help make midterm studying feel a little more comfortable and supportive. Come in your pyjamas or coziest clothes if you are settling in for a long study session. If you have class, work, presentations, or simply prefer not to wear pyjamas in public, you can still join in by wearing red.
