This week, we enjoyed therapy dogs in the Campus Center, and Ava embraced the cozy fall setting in the LeRoy V. Good Library! #MCCLibraries

Three golden Labrador dogs with their respective handlers and a student sitting on the tile floor of the Campus Center to pet them and enjoy their company beside the large windows looking out on a sunny day.

Ava is sitting in the blue lounge chair and smiling while reading a book.

The positive messages and cute drawings being left on a table for others to take as needed are lovely and greatly appreciated ❤️ #MCCLibraries

On an index card is written, "Take what you need! This is to help you remember how amazing you are!" accompanied by a pencil sketch of a bee flying to a flower. Another index card has a drawing oh a sheep under a night sky colored in black, yellow, and purple, with the message, "You are perfect just the way you are!" A third index card features a drawing of a plesiosaur with its head above water and body visible below the surface is colored blue, pink, and white, with the message, "You are loved!" The messages, "You matter! You are loved!" adorn a fourth index card drawing of a fawn walking in the foreground of a forest, colored in shades of brown, black, and blue.
