Paws for Reading
Do you have a beginning reader?
Why not sign them up for a "reading appointment" with our certified therapy dogs, Leo and Anna?
Reading aloud to a canine friend is a great confidence and fluency builder for kids who are just learning to read.
Anna and Leo visit on the 2nd Tuesday of each month, from 3:30 to 4:30. Sign up in the Children's Room for a 15-min. appointment.
Next visit: Tuesday, Oct. 8th
Lego-My-Library
If you love Legos, and love to build, come to the Children's Room on Friday, Oct. 18 from 2-4. You supply the creativity, and we'll supply the Legos! No registration required, for kids 5 and up.
Remember, the library is a happening place and your library card is your ticket to free books, magazines, music, movies, Internet access, enriching programs and much more!
