Kodi Laskin, a graduate of Rollins College, has used her unique position as both a library assistant and a service animal handler to develop a training geared for libraries and businesses to learn about laws regarding service animals and their place in society. It is available through SEFLIN and NEFLIN. Laskin and her service animal, Piper, can still be found frequenting any and all libraries they come across.
