The Library Reading Room now has several small ecosystems of plants and friends! As part of her SIP, K senior Emma Sidor ’23 placed the terrariums in the Reading Room just before Orientation began this fall. Each has an explanatory card that details the plants inside and says that plants can reduce stress, help with concentration, and promote positive emotions.

The terrariums include creatures such as aliens, ducks with raincoats, ninjas, mushrooms, and dinosaurs. They certainly brighten up the Reading Room, and hopefully they will “bring you joy and help with your studies!”
