Here are some of the most common words that appeared in comments about our fall LNAP.<\/p><\/div>\n

Alloway Library and the TWU Learning Commons’ second Long Night Against Procrastination on Monday February 25\u00a0 is building on the success of our first LNAP held last October.<\/p>\n

In the fall we welcomed nearly 600 visitors\u00a0 between 6:30 and midnight. Two hundred of our visitors filled in a survey that told us that many students came to get motivated to study, start their papers and de-stress.\u00a0 Ninety five per cent of them told us that they succeeded in their goals by getting help from our librarians, Learning Commons support staff and IT staff and by using the library’s quiet spaces to do their work alone or with friends. Students also told us that they loved spending time with the gentle dogs in attendance and enjoyed the snacks provided. Over one third said they valued the environment provide in the library. One student summed up what many said “The overall atmosphere was very positive! Very much a feeling of being in it together and receiving support.”<\/em><\/p>\n

In planning our February event we are also heeding comments that showed us how to improve:\u00a0 We will point out the different quiet zones and active zones in the library. We are inviting faculty to come in and network with their students and, more importantly, we are bringing in free coffee!<\/p>\n

Just like we did in our successful fall LNAP, we will\u00a0 have the Research Help Desk open in the evening; extra hours for the Writing Centre,\u00a0 Learning Commons support staff and de-stressing activities. Based on student feedback, we are making sure there are enough dogs and snacks to help you get motivated and get things done!<\/p>\n

The February 25 LNAP comes on the Monday right after Reading Break. So, whether you take a break\u00a0from <\/em> reading or\u00a0for<\/em> reading, the Long Night Against Procrastination will give you a jump start on the busy last half of the term.<\/p>\n
