Service Animals in the Building

Only animals certified as service animals in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act are allowed inside the building. 

If you bring an animal into the library, staff may ask only two questions to ascertain if your animal is a service animal:

  1. Is the service animal required because of a disability?
  2. What work or task has the service animal been trained to perform?

Staff are not allowed to request any documentation for the service animal, ask that the service animal demonstrate its task, or inquire about the handler’s disability.
