Hi everyone. The UConn Library in Storrs has had therapy dogs come to the library during finals week, in December and May, for the last many years now. Each dog comes for one hour, usually four dogs each afternoon of the week. The handlers tell us they love coming to UConn because the students are really appreciative of the program.

 

I’m happy to give more information is you care to contact me directly.

Greenwich High School has therapy dogs visit for an hour during each mid-term exam day and final exam day but not in the library, they are in a classroom during mid-terms and outside in our courtyard area during finals if the weather is nice.

 

In addition, for one day during both mid-terms and final exams, Greenwich Hospital provides Healing Touch volunteers for a three hour time block in one of our lobbies for students and teachers.

Hello folks, 

 

I was curious is anyone has or does run therapy dog programs in the library for students? I'm thinking of starting up a program for midterms and finals for our students.
