Paws for Stress Relief: Join TOP Dogs for an Exam Season Therapy Session

Get ready to wag your stress goodbye! The Department of Library Services (DLS) is thrilled to announce the return of our beloved furry therapists in the fourth week of May 2024.

We know exam time can be ruff, but fear not! Research has shown that spending time with animals can significantly reduce stress and promote relaxation. So, take fifteen minutes out of your busy schedule to cuddle up with these friendly doggos and experience their pawsitive vibes firsthand!

And for those who may be a tad wary of our four-legged friends, these pups are carefully selected and fully trained therapy professionals. Their mission? To provide you with comfort and emotional support. They're as calm as a breeze, as friendly as can be, and impeccably well-behaved.
