Experience a hands‑on showcase where Trenton Circus Squad Performer, Abby Bireta, and Founder of The Twirling Arcade (and former PUL Bibliographic Specialist), Sue Albert, turn the Commons Library’s Curiosity Studio into a live lab for flow — a highly focused mental state conducive to productivity where focus, connection, and creativity converge. Watch mesmerizing hula‑hoops, juggling, and stick‑twirl routines synced to an upbeat soundtrack. Learn quick, actionable tricks you can use to create your own flow state. Whether you’re seasoned at flow or a first‑time explorer, there’s a place for you here. Come curious, leave inspired.

The Commons Library sits at the center of the new SEAS+ES complex. Enter on the first floor on Ivy Lane across from the football stadium or through Briger Hall’s first floor. You can also enter on the second floor from Roper Lane. Find us on the campus map.

The Curiosity Studio is an open presentation space inside the Commons Library’s second floor.
