| 10/6/2009 6:30 p.m. - 12/31/2009 Read to Dogs Part of the Therapy Dogs International Program, R.E.A.D.Bring you child to the children's department at the Library to read to dogs! Every Tuesday at 6:30 at the downtown library. By sitting down next to a dog and reading to the dog, all threats of being judged are put aside. The child relaxes, pats the attentive dog, and focuses on the reading. Reading improves because the child is practicing the skill of reading, building self-esteem, and associating reading with something pleasant. Contact: Sally Meyers 655-7321 |
