Dog Therapy Returns this Spring!

K-9 S.T.A.R.S. is a program that brings therapy dogs into the Sioux City community. A group of volunteers devote their time to K-9 S.T.A.R.S. and bring their pets into community buildings, including Morningside College’s library. K-9 S.T.A.R.S. screens the dogs to make sure they are the right temperament to be a therapy dog.

The HJF Library began partnering with K-9 S.T.A.R.S. to provide students with a way to relieve stress during finals week. Scientific studies have shown that pet ownership and animal interaction increase oxytocin levels in the body. Oxytocin is a hormone that reduces anxiety and stress levels. Petting a dog and relaxing with the animals helps students take a break from their studies, de-stress, and even improve their memory.

The K-9 S.T.A.R.S. therapy dogs will be in the HJF Learning Center on Sunday, May 4th from 2-4 pm and 6-8 pm. Stop in to meet some amazing dogs and volunteers!

404 Day & Library Censorship

Many of us have seen and/or heard the numerous acronyms that have come before congress and the US Supreme Court over the years regarding some form of Internet censorship; SOPA, PIPA, DOPA and CISPA to name a few, but today is 404 Day which recognizes a Supreme Court ruling 10 years ago in favor of CIPA - the Children's Internet Protection Act.

The law requires public and school libraries to filter Internet content in return for federal funding with the goal of providing a more safe Internet environment for children and minors. However, it has been argued that Internet filtering is ineffective and a detriment to a democratic society and the United States Constitution.


There are many resources available on the web regarding CIPA, library censorship and Internet censorship. To acknowledge 404 Day, please consider learning more about the issues in our digital society and how they affect you.
