You are strongly encouraged to leave non-service animals at home as they can distract from volunteer duties.
Please review the University of Arizona's Animals on Campus Policy.
Email volunteers@tucsonfestivalofbooks.org with questions.

If you will have a service animal present when you volunteer, is the service animal required because of a disability?

If so, what work or task has the animal been trained to perform?
