As part of our “Take a Break with US” events, the Murray Library held an Angry Birds Competition last Friday.
The library’s Peer Mentors wanted to do something fun to finish off the school year. They heard about the Angry Birds Tournament that Eva and Darlene had created several years ago (see old pictures on the Murray Library’s Facebook page) and decided to do something similar. So the Peer Mentors, along with Eva, Darlene, Lara and Amy, started planning together.
We made 2 large structures using old boxes, and we make some smaller tabletop structures using paper.Students could try their hand at any or all of the structures. There were no winners or losers. The point was just to have fun and let out some steam.
The most popular part of the event was the free cake! A huge thanks to Darlene and her friend who made and donated the cake.
Students who participated could all enter their name in a draw for prizes. The prizes were 2 windbreakers which were donated by the U of S Bookstore and 7 Angry Bird plush toys donated by the Campus Computer Store.
The event was a huge success! We had over 80 people come into the room for the 2 hours that we were open, and others even tried coming in after we had already cleaned up because they heard about how much fun it was.

The Angry Birds competition looked like a lot of fun and the cake sure did look yummy. I am sure the students who participated had a lot of fun and helped them destress at this time of year. Nice job.
Great job! The Peer Mentors did a wonderful job with this fun event to end their very successful year. Way to go ladies!
What a creative & fun event. I could tell that the students were really enjoying themselves. And…the cake was fabulous. Well done gang!
