Service Animals for LS

Please be aware that we may see service animals in the libraries.
The need for service animals is not always apparent or obvious.
Service animals may accompany one time visitors or they may be here to assist summer students, faculty or staff.
Service animals are trained to be in areas such as classrooms, dining halls, libraries, dorms etc., though not all service animals are approved/registered for indoor campus public use areas.

Currently there is only one guide dog on campus that should be allowed in the libraries.

If students are entering the library with what they claim is a service animal, they should be in touch with Jodi Litchfield. If they are faculty or staff, they should contact Laura Carotenuto in Human Resources.

In addition, please feel free to direct any concerns or questions about service animals to Elin.
Thanks!
