Another fun program that the library does is called BARK. People bring in old service dogs and have kids read to them. For us it's a great way for our kids to get used to animals in a safe environment and then they also get to practice their reading skills! Of course, all the librarians love the kids so they recommended Sam, an older golden retriever, who they said was perfect, and he was. Lucy wasn't so sure of Sam at first, but the owner tried to get them used to Sam by letting them give him treats and water. When I checked in on them they were doing great! Dude was reading and Sam was laying on his back just listening and loving it. I'm so glad that they suggested this to us because it was wonderful! Hoping to be able to do it again soon! Just another reason why we love our library. :)
