The books are in place and ready for you to browse and buy on Friday thanks to
Mike Cirullo, Nick Berasi, several of our Friends, and the great crew from Northern
Berkshire District Court. Remember to bring extra change for the delicious baked goodies too!
Children in grades 1 to 3 who may be struggling with reading aloud are welcome to come to the library on Saturday, Oct. 22 at 10:30 in the children’s department to meet and read to Maple. Every child will have an opportunity to bring a favorite story from home or choose from our wonderful picture book collection and spend time with our new furry friend. Maple is a seven-year-old Golden Retriever and registered therapy dog. She will be here with owner/handler Cathy Hall of Pittsfield, Mass.
Therapy dogs are a wonderful way for children to read to a non-judgmental partner. Maple has just received her advanced therapy license and we are very confident of her patience and charm. Parents whose children may be fearful of dogs are also welcome to spend time sitting quietly with her. Light refreshments and dog biscuits will be available.
Do you pick or do you throw? Knitters of all skill levels are invited to join a new group forming at the library on Tuesdays at 2 p.m in the main reading room.
