Headquarters Library

Youth Services Area

Join us in Youth Services where you can read your favorite story to a furry friend.

We are welcoming back Dodi, the miniature Dachshund therapy dog. Dodi used to visit the library before 2020 and we are so glad to have her back. She is ready for stories, pets, and lots of low to the ground hugs. Weighing in at only 10 pounds Dodi is great for kids that are hesitant to meet new furry friends. Join us in the Youth Services Department on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month 3:30 - 4:30 starting June 13. 

AGE GROUP: | Elementary (5-11 years) |
