<p class="MsoNormal">The art teacher in my building has a therapy dog she’d like to bring into the building. (We’re learning in person.) She asked me for some ways the therapy dog can be used in library classes (K-5, 30 minutes weekly) besides individuals or
groups reading aloud to the dog. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I mostly can find information for programs in public libraries where students read individually to therapy dogs. Does anyone have experience with a therapy dog in a school setting? If so, what are some ways you incorporated him into your
libraries?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you in advance!<o:p></o:p></p>
