Thanks to the generosity of area businesses, we still have lots of prizes to give away and we will be doing that at the party while you are enjoying good food! The event is casual so come as you are. Plan to arrive at five or shortly before so you have time to get a plate of food and choose a free book before it’s time to start the drawings for the prizes.

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 in March 2012.
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.
MUSICAL JAMBOREE
Each year our library hosts a Musical Jamboree which features local, talented individuals. We are looking for people willing to do one vocal or instrumental selection for this year’s Musical Jamboree which is scheduled for Tuesday, April 10th, beginning at 7:00 PM in our Community Room.
If you are interested or know someone who is interested in sharing his/her talent with the community, please call the library at 453-2341 and ask a staff member for more information.
