How are you relaxing during finals? Stressbusters are happening all over campus. Starting at 10am on Tuesday Dec 2nd, tiny pocket-pets will be hidden on all three floors of the Davis Family Library. Come wander the stacks and take home a cute buddy. Options will include a yellow shark, green platypus, grey manatee, orange fox, and pink/purple lizard. Locate the “chaser” pets, a silver fox and a red dragon, and bring them to the Circulation desk for a $20 Vermont Bookshop giftcard!

Nancy Willard (1936 - 2017) was an author, poet, and teacher, best known for her children’s books. During Willard’s time at Bread Loaf during the 1980s and 90s, she asked fellow faculty, attendees, and guests to sign wooden eggs. This EGGS-HIBIT is a collection of nearly three dozen hand painted and decorated eggs, themed around each signatory and their work, paired with a corresponding literary work.
