"Tail Waggin' Tutors" Children Reading to Dogs

Thursday May 31, 2012, 4:30 p.m. 6 p.m.

Registration is required. Please call in advance to schedule your child's 15-minute reading session.

Tail Waggin’ Tutors is a reading program developed by Therapy Dogs International for children who are reluctant to read aloud. The main objective of this program is to provide a relaxed atmosphere, which allows students who are self-conscious in a classroom environment to practice the skill of reading.

By sitting down next to a dog and reading to the dog, all threats of being judged are put aside. The child relaxes, pats the attentive dog, and focuses on the reading.

Reading improves because the child is practicing the skill of reading, building self-esteem, and associating reading with something pleasant.

Music Classes for Children

Wednesday Jun 20, 2012, 11:45 a.m.

Monthly: meets 3rd Wednesday of each month.

FREE children's music classes held in the Library's Children's Room. Presented by Moon River Music Together with Catherine Rubin, the class will explore how the early childhood program of Music Together® teaches music through play.

Young children are given the opportunity to develop basic competence in music by providing them with a rich musical experience in a relaxed and playful environment. Catherine believes that every child is musical and that each child needs a stimulating, supportive music environment to enjoy the wonderful human capacity for music-making.

Join us to see how much fun music classes can be!
