Stress Relief During COVID-19: Home

UCI Libraries stress relief activities look a little different this quarter, but we still wanted to share some fun, relaxing activities and resources with you. Take a break and enjoy puppy videos, virtual tours, music playlists, and more from the comfort of your home.

While the therapy dogs and amazing volunteers from Paws 4 Healing can't pay us a visit, we can still share the pets that bring us joy at home. Take a look at all these sweet animal faces and share pictures of your pets on the Padlet board below!
