Neptune the Reading Therapy Dog

Neptune will be back to visit us again Wednesdays, from 4-5 pm, on October 4 and November 1. Come on in and practice your reading, Neptune loves a good story!

Neptune is a beautiful Shiloh Shepherd with the sweetest disposition. Usually he visits the first Wednesday of every month  from 4-5 pm. Many children like to read to him as he always has a patient ear but he is also great to visit with if you want your child to feel more comfortable around dogs. ​

All children can benefit from reading to dogs - read the research here:  https://www.ucdavis.edu/spotlight/0410/reading_to_rover.html

Ongoing Storytimes...
               Mother Goose on the Loose – for ages 0-2 – Monday afternoons at 1:30 pm and Tuesday mornings at 10:30 am. We are celebrating Mother Goose by reading, retelling and dancing to the rhymes!
                Preschool Story Time – for ages 3-5 – Monday mornings at 10:30 am and Tuesday afternoons at 1:30 pm. We will explore weekly themes though picture books with music and movements, perhaps some poems and finger plays too. There will also be an activity or game to enrich our exploration of the theme.
                All story times are open to everyone who would like to attend and although I have geared the story times to specific ages no one will ever be excluded from attending. My expectations have been, and always will be, that everyone participates as they want and fun together.

The Library has to divide and transplant our front garden are to make way for the new entrance to the parking lot coming next year. Fall is a great time to move/transplant spring blooming plants and we will have some extra to sell to raise money to fund the preparation of the new garden area at the back of the building. We will have coreopsis, orange daylilly, lilly, iris, forsythia and red twig dogwood cuttings and others for just $2.00 a pot.
