Disney at the Library!


Did you see a dog in the library?  Today we had a very special visitor, Disney the PAWS to Read Dog!   Disney and his owner Staci told us all about the ways that Disney helps people.  Disney visits hospitals, dorms, nursing homes and more!  He helps people feel better when they are sick or scared.
Disney also loves to listen to stories.   Staci even read us one of Disney's favorite books.  Disney also listens to stories in our popular PAWS to READ program. Thank you Staci and Disney for visiting us!
