Therapy Dogs at Abbott Library

Therapy dogs return to Abbott Library for monthly visits during the fall semester! The visits are designed to give students, faculty and staff a chance to take a break, reduce stress and enjoy the company of friendly dogs.

Research has shown that interacting with therapy animals can help lower blood pressure, reduce anxiety and improve overall well-being. The dogs will be available in Room B15 in the basement of Abbott Library.
