Take a break any time at one of the Wellbeing Zones we've set up at each of our six libraries.

Mindful colouring

Pull up a chair and take some time to relax either by yourself or with friends with this activity.

The design was especially created by our MADA students as part of our Mind your Mind exhibition.

Origami

Feel your stress drop away with every fold of the paper.

The focus and attention needed for this activity both calms your mind.

Add to that a little dopamine boost from creating a little piece of art.

Mini zen garden

Take a moment to rake sand and arrange stones to create patterns.

The simplicity of design and repetition can help mental clarity and balance.
