COMING UP
Young readers have an opportunity to read aloud to Peanut, a 4 year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel at the Gleason Public Library. New readers can find it reassuring to read aloud to a dog, who is of course, non-judgmental. Peanuts and his person are a certified therapy team with Dog B.O.N.E.S. This is a Massachusetts based organization with approximately 300 volunteer teams who visit schools, hospitals and libraries.
Peanuts will in the Children's Room at the Gleason Library from 4:00 until 5:00 on Thursday, May 23. Call now to reserve your 15 minute slot. We can supply reading material or you can bring your own. Call the Children’s Room at 978-369-4898 to register or for more information.
...And stay tuned for our Summer Reading events!
