You’ve made it through the first full week of classes. When you need a break — whether that means watching a movie or catching up on the news — the library has you covered.

Here are a few of the freebies you get, just for being at UC Davis. (Please note: Since the library pays for these services on behalf of the university, you may need to sign in using your UC Davis Kerberos/CAS login or connect to the Library VPN from off campus.)
