Therapy Dogs Lend an Ear to "Read-With-Me" Children

If you are a frequent visitor of Centerville Library, you might remember seeing Filene, a therapy dog from Ohlone Humane Society’s “Hug-a-Pet” Program. She visited our library a few times last year during the Read-With-Me hours. She has returned on December 9th and this time, brought along two of her friends–Kula and Ernie. Many of the Read-With-Me children had a great time reading to their special guests. Some visiting children also greeted the dogs and watched Filene perform her flip trick. “Please come again”, says Andrew. Here is the good news–yes, they will be back in 3 weeks. Non Read-With-Me participants are also welcome to read to the dogs. Just bring your favorite books between 4 and 5 P.M. on Janurary 6th, 2009.
