    Dogs in the Library: Winter 2020 Schedule

    by Erin Sanderman January 9, 2020
    written by Erin Sanderman

    Attention: To mitigate infection spread risks of COVID-19, Dogs in the Library will be cancelled March 13 – April 13 inclusive.

    Our four-legged friends from CAAWLS are back to trade snuggles for smiles. This term is extra special, as the dogs make their debut at Bibliothèque Saint-Jean. Here’s when and where you can take a break from your studies and partake in a delightful doggie visit.

    While a visit with a dog is a great way to improve your mood, sometimes we could all use a little extra support. If you are looking for academic help, or to connect with mental health services on campus, the ACCESS Outreach Team can help. You can find more information on their webpage: https://www.ualberta.ca/current-students/access-outreach
