TAIL WAGGIN’ TUTORS
Last year, the library started a program using therapy dogs called “Tail Waggin’ Tutors”. Children in grades K-4 are encouraged to come to the library and read to one of three therapy dogs. Bella is owned by Sandy Chalou, Paddy is owned by Bernie Dezenski, and Reese is owned by Jerry & Yvonne Greer. The goal is to encourage children to read by providing a relaxed, non-judgmental environment where children can feel comfortable reading aloud to a furry friend. The dogs are licensed, certified and insured – one through Therapy Dogs, Inc. and two through Therapy Dogs, International.
Pre-registration is required for the program which is offered on the first Monday and third Thursday of each month between 4:00 PM and 500 PM. A child who signs up for
the program will spend ten minutes reading aloud to one of the therapy dogs (and its handler). Paddy and Reese will be at the library on Monday, December 3rd from
4 PM – 5 PM. If your child is interested in reading to one of our “Tail Waggin’ Tutors” please call the library at 453-2341 to sign-up for an available time slot.
