I'm pushing 60 and I still remember when my mother took me to the library for the first time. I was in heaven! If I had to choose between giving up my library card or good, dark, Belgium chocolate, my dentist would be the big loser 'cuz I'd keep the card for sure!!

What could be better than dogs and books? Maybe dogs, books, and cats

I remember visiting the library as a child, listening to my mom explain that I could read the "big kids books," and leaving with huge stacks of new things to read. When I moved, one of the first things I did was get a new library card

Chagall will be a bookworm in no time

Congratulations Chagall! You are an inspiration to us! Mom wants to know if she can send us out for a couple weeks of training with your Mom. Maybe you can teach us to remain calm when meeting new people or dogs.

Your Buds,
Dudley and Nelly Belly

Big Congrats!! Good for you and Chagall. Stella and I are in a program called TWT or tail waggin tutors. We are starting soon..we have been in TDI for the last year....I love that! You should consider therapy work too....Chagall would be a natural. Congrats again :-)

The R.E.A.D. program has three of my favorite things - dogs, books and children. We go to two different libraries and work in the public school. You and Chagall are going to LOVE this program.

Congrats!!!! Way to go!!! How do you get information about these different types or programs? They sure sound interesting.

There's a sign at our local library for the "PAWS to R.E.A.D." program, that's how I became aware of it. I imagine if you contact Therapy Dogs International or the Delta Society they may have info on other programs that use dog volunteers. Many members here do therapy work. You might do a forum search to see what that yields (dogs and therapy work), or maybe start a thread with your question, it's a good one!
