TAIL WAGGIN’ TUTORS
A new program using therapy dogs is being offered at the Pigeon District Library. Children in grades K-4 are encouraged to come to the library and read to one of two therapy dogs. Powell is owned by Sherry Phillips and Reese is owned by Jerry & Yvonne Greer. The goal is to provide a relaxed, non-judgmental environment where children can feel comfortable reading aloud to a furry friend that won’t laugh at them if they make a mistake or stumble over a word. The dogs are licensed, certified and insured through Therapy Dogs, International.
The program is being offered the first Monday and third Thursday of each month.
Pre-registration is required. A child who signs up for the program will spend ten minutes reading aloud to the therapy dog (and his handler). Four time slots are available for children who would love to read to a furry friend – 4:00, 4:15, 4:30, and 4:45. If this is something that your child would like to do, please call the library at 453-2341 to sign-up for an available time slot on January 19th.
If you own a therapy dog and would be interested in assisting with this program, please call the library at 453-2341 and ask to speak with Library Director Jeanette Bach.
ADULT WINTER READING PROGRAM
This is the fourth year for our adult winter reading program which is scheduled for January 16 – March 15. We think it is a lot of fun for our adult readers, but participation is totally optional. The program is open to PDL cardholders who are at least 18 years of age and check out books, books on CD/tape, magazines, or Playaways. Weekly prize drawings will be held and participants are invited to the end-of-program party in March.
STORY HOUR
“Martin Luther King, Jr.” will be the theme for Tuesday, January 17, 2012. PreSchool Story Hour is held each Tuesday at 10:30 AM. Children listen to stories and participate in finger plays, songs and crafts. There is no cost for this service and new families are always welcome. For more information, please call the library at 453-2341 and ask for Jane Himmel.
