Welcome back, Seahawks! 💙

As classes get underway, make time for a little fun at the library's new Puzzle Station (1st floor of Randall Hall, under the central staircase). Add a piece, take a breather, and contribute to a puzzle that will keep changing throughout the semester.

Here's to making it through the first day—one small piece at a time. 🫶

Want to help make UNCW Library a more supportive space for students? We are seeking six students to serve on the Student Wellbeing Committee. Share your ideas and help shape the library's wellbeing programs, services, and initiatives. ✨
