University libraries offers more than books, computers and nap-ready chairs to help students succeed. How about a yoga mat, light therapy lamp or hula-hoop?

Studies show that being active improves alertness, attention and motivation. So in addition to the laptops, phone chargers and textbooks available year-round, students can borrow all manner of sporting equipment during finals week, thanks to campus partners like University Recreation and Wellness and Bikeumd.

Above are some of the items available for a brain-boosting study break.
