Dogs, cat to visit library Dec. 1 to 11

Western Libraries will be joined by members of the Canines on Campus program, formerly known as Pet Partners, from Dec. 1 to Dec. 11.

Students, faculty and staff may feel free to stop by the library to say hi and de-stress when in need of a break from studying for finals, working on projects or grading those last few papers.

Animals who are part of the Canines on Campus program are registered through several different agencies and have met certain standards of skills and aptitude. Whatcom Therapy Dogs and Dogs on Call are the two organizations that provide volunteers to the Canines on Campus program, and teams of humans and animals (which still includes Smokey the cat) will be located in the gallery space at the end of the skybridge on the Wilson side of the library between the hours of 10 a.m. and 8 p.m.
