[aisle] Reading to a Dog--Ideas for Family Night

[Andrea Ross]

We do a Library Dog program here in school once a month, during school
hours. Kids love it! Try reaching out to Charlotte Keene at the local Pet
Partners branch.
https://petpartners.org/volunteer/our-therapy-animal-program/

We generally have 4-6 dogs at a time, kids rotate through one at a time. I
imagine for a family night, you'd probably do best with a sign-up sheet.

Good luck!
