Subject: Law Library Therapy Dog Pilot Program Launches March 28, 2011
To: Law School Students
Dear Students:
The law library intends to run a three day pilot program starting on March 28, 2011 during which students will be able to ?check out? our certified library therapy dog, Monty for thirty minute periods. We hope that making a therapy dog available to our students will prove to be a positive addition to current services offered by the library. It is well documented that visits from therapy dogs have resulted in increased happiness, calmness, and overall emotional well-being.
Beginning March 21, 2011, a sign-up sheet with additional information will be available at the circulation desk for students wishing to check out Monty. Even though Monty is hypoallergenic, visits will be confined to a dedicated non-public space in the library to eliminate potential adverse reactions from any library user who might have dog-related concerns. We are committed to ensuring our library remains a welcoming and comfortable environment for all our users.
Finally, we will need your feedback and comments to help us decide if this will be a permanent on-going program available during stressful periods of the semester, for example during examinations. Please feel free to contact us at anytime at [redacted] or stop by the library administrative suite in room 300 to speak with the Librarian.
Sincerely
Blair Kauffman, Law Librarian
