Start the semester right and get to know Walter Library — one of the OG study spots on campus. Did you know Walter Library is over 100 years old? We are throwing open the doors to Walter Library to celebrate with a bit of sport and game to celebrate the end of the first week of fall semester!

Games, puzzles, treats from M Food Co (visit the Wise Owl Coffee Shop for a free sample) and more! Explore Walter Library and find your favorite study spot! Play a board game! Puzzle! Make something (did we say...sewing machines?) and get creative (did we say...button making?). Get to know the tools and study spaces in the Toaster. We will have Walter and campus history pop up exhibit including old copies of the Minnesota Daily and the Minnesota Gopher yearbooks in the fancy Upson room (103).
