The LSUHS Library has three relaxation stations for students to take a quick break from their studies. These relaxation stations include puzzles and since our students are so smart, we need more because they complete them fast! If you would like to contribute a puzzle for the students visit our Amazon Wish List at https://amzn.to/37VM6vW to order a puzzle to be delivered to the Library. Thank you for helping our students find their inner "piece" and relax!
