Reed Library is proud to announce our new therapy dog in-residence program, the first in the SUNY Library System.
Clover is a Cavachon who is currently completing her certification as a licensed therapy dog with trainer Kaleigh Bell, a Fredonia alumna and owner of Shaylah’s Canine Commands, LLC of Forestville. Clover's owner and handler is Kerrie Fergen Wilkes, Interim Director of Reed Library.
As a certified therapy dog, Clover will visit the library several times a week, and will greet faculty, students and staff within the library. We will advertise the times she will visit on her website, via Reed Library’s social media accounts, and on a poster at the entrance of Reed Library.
Clover will begin her official career as the Reed Library Therapy Dog on her first birthday, May 10, 2022. A small party to celebrate her birthday and the launch of this program will be held on May 10, 2022 at 11:00 a.m in Reed Library. Birthday cupcakes will be available.
Many thanks to Vice Provost Judy Horowitz for her enthusiastic support of this program. For more information on Clover and the goals of her presence in Reed, please visit her website and/or contact Kerrie Fergen Wilkes.
