Students at Northwestern State University received some smiles from Humane Society shelter animals as they visited Watson Library Monday, Nov. 26 for the Dogs in the Library event.

This is the second semester the library has hosted the event, with the pups serving as comfort dogs to students and other visitors as they prepare for finals and other stresses that come with the end of a semester.
Several students came to visit the dogs, including senior business administration major Ysmina Smith, who said the event was great to relieve stress as students get caught up in the middle of studying.

She and fellow classmate and soccer teammate Courtney LeJeune have been so looking forward to this event that they have asked staff several times when the next one will be.
Smith said she’s certainly looking forward to the next Dogs in the Library event, and surely several of her peers are in agreement!
