O’Neal Library

Community Meeting Room

Take a break and destress with therapy pets!

Taking a break is an essential part of the studying/working process, and several studies claim that playing with a dog or cat can elevate levels of serotonin and dopamine, which calm and relax.

Come unwind in the Community Meeting Room with a therapy animal team from Hand in Paw!

Got questions? Email young adult librarians Matt Layne and Michelle Cheng at teens@oneallibrary.org.
