June 25, 2008 - Reading at Green Road Library
We continue to have great success with the reading programs at Green Road Library and at the Boys & Girls Club of Raleigh.
We were also invited to attend a Pet Fair at the Knightdale Library and got a warm reception there from the library staff and patrons. We had about 5 therapy dogs there over 3 hours, and told a lot of people about the program.
Last night was another fun evening at Green Road Library. There were about 8 or 10 kids, some of whom had participated in earlier sessions. Many of them were younger and not reading yet, but they enjoyed the interaction with the dogs. I'm all for promoting positive contact with the dogs, especially among minorities who may not be as comfortable with dogs.
