Dog Tales story time
Lisbon Library will be hosting a Dog Tales storyime Wednesday, Jan. 22, beginning at 4 p.m.
Independent readers are welcome to join us to read to an adorable four-legged friend. Tilly is a certified therapy dog (with their handler), and she’s more than excited to see you!
What you can expect:
This drop-in program invites emerging readers to read with Tilly. She and her handler will be available on a first come, first serve basis. Readers can select a book of their choice to read with Tilly. It’s an opportunity to both practice skills and to have positive and affirming experiences with books and with the library.
Readers are “old enough” to participate when they can engage with a book independently and be safe and respectful with our animal visitors–we’re not necessarily looking for a specific level of phonic fluency. Readers under 8 should be accompanied by an adult.
Please feel free to reach out with any additional questions about accessibility, accommodations or logistics.
