Read to a Dog

Come and read for fun to a licensed therapy dog.

We have Mr T., Jesse, and now Chiquita.

The dog creates a very low stress environment for children who are learning or having difficulties learning to read. As the child reads aloud, the dog listens and enjoys the story and never corrects the child.

The dog just loves what the child is doing! A loving, low-stress time for children to read is often extremely helpful in learning to read.

Looking at Windows

Refresh the skills you need to work with the Windows operating system or just learn some helpful things about Windows.
In this course, you will learn skills that are useful for beginning computer users including resizing and manipulating Windows, changing the mouse properties, using toolbars, rearranging the computer desktop and getting support online.

Part 1 of 2. Register at the library or by calling 594-5355. Registration for February classes starts January 20.
