sign up). If you know someone who would benefit
from this program, please contact Charlotte at carredondo@ci.durham.nh.us

Tales for Tails
Reading to a Delta Society trained therapy dog allows children to practice reading
without judgment and criticism and allows them to associate reading as a pleasant
and special activity. Beginning or reluctant readers are encouraged to "paws
for reading!" Call Charlotte 868-6699 at the library to schedule a time
for your child to read to a therapy dog.
