Guidelines for Animals in Library Buildings

Pets are not allowed inside any university library building. ADA service animals, defined as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities, are always welcome. Individuals with service animals must maintain control of the animal at all times. Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the ADA and are not allowed in library buildings.
