What better way to kick off cozy season than spending an afternoon with a loveable furball? At the CSN Libraries, we love our pets and animal friends. At each campus, browse our "Pawsitively Pawesome" book displays to learn more about all types of pets and animal related topics. Whether you’re considering a pet of our own, want to further invest in the health or training of your current pet, or just plain curious about the greater Animal Kingdom, each book display has a title for you. Then, join us for any of our upcoming Fall Love Dogs events from 1pm-2:30pm: *Monday, November 9 at Charleston
