"Dog Tales" resumes Tuesday night at Decorah Public Library

Certified therapy dogs will be at the Decorah Public Library Tuesday night as the library resumes its Dog Tales program.

Children ages 5-12 who are reading independently may come to the library from 6:30 p.m. until 7:15 p.m. this Tuesday and on October 29th, November 5th, November 26th, December 17th to read a story or two to a dog.

Research has shown that reading aloud to dogs is beneficial to children because the presence of a dog creates an environment that is relaxed and nonjudgmental.

For additional information about the Dog Tales program, please contact Kristin Torresdal or Joan Roach at the library (382-3717). Registration is not required to participate.
