As the end of the semester nears, find some time to relax at Paws for Coffee, from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, April 24, at the James & Abigail Campbell Library lobby at the University of Hawai‘i–West O‘ahu.

The popular semesterly event welcomes UH West O‘ahu students, faculty, and staff, and the general public, to enjoy a cup of coffee and snacks while spending time with fur-riendly therapy dogs from K9 TheraPets of Hawai‘i. There will be two shifts of dogs: 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. and 10:30 to 11:30 a.m.

The Paws for Coffee event has been hosted since 2015 by the library, which has been working with the Alliance of Therapy Dogs – Hawai‘i Chapter since 2017. The participating therapy dogs are registered with the organization, an international registry of certified therapy dog teams.

UH West O‘ahu organizers wish to thank Charlene Toyama of K9 TheraPets of Hawai‘i for coordinating the visit, and co-sponsor UH West O‘ahu Student Activity Fee Board for providing the snacks.
