What time is your event?
6:30-7:30
Why do you wish for Pet Therapy at your Event?
We want to bring pets to the library to help local teens de-stress during their last few weeks of class! Adults will also be welcome. We would market the event as 13+
Location(s) on premises reserved in advance?
yes
Event space indoors or outdoors?
Yes Indoor
Please provide a description the reserved location of event.
It is our library auditorium and/or the library teen room! We thought it could be fun to spread out a little more. Happy to make it auditorium-only, though. The teen room is sunny and bright, with books along the walls and a computer corner. Tables would be moved out of the way for the event. The auditorium is spacious but has no outside windows.
Please describe Alternate Location if any
What is the expected attendance?
10+, but its always hard to estimate with teens
Dogs/Cats or both?
Dogs Only
Minimum # teams requested
Maximum # teams requested
Have you considered how to promote this event?

Parking Arrangements
Drive down highland ave towards Walnut street. Turn onto Walnut street, and turn left into the staff parking lot. If entering through the staff door (which is in the basement and requires going up a narrow staircase, or the elevator) call the contact person. Feel free to circle around to the front door instead.
Will other Pet Organizations be present?
No others
Outline any protocols needed for volunteers to come to your facility.
Give me (the head of the teen department) a call if using the back door!
