Registered therapy dogs and their volunteer owners visit the Library to spend time one-on-one with participants.&nbsp;Space is limited and SignUpGenius registration is required.
School-age children can practice reading with one of the dogs, if they wish. Why read to dogs? Most children have a natural affinity for and bond with dogs, and because dogs are non-judgmental, children are less self-conscious while reading aloud to them. Children can improve their reading skills in a fun and relaxed atmosphere, while enhancing self-esteem, motivating speech, and building confidence. Reading to a therapy dog can decrease stress and anxiety in general, and specifically while reading aloud in front of other human listeners! If children associate reading with struggle, worry, or embarrassment, this is a chance to create new and pleasant associations with reading instead!
For anyone of any age who wants to spend time with a dog without reading, that’s fine too! Time spent with the dog can simply be to get comfortable and less fearful around a dog in a safe environment, or to just to ease the stress of life by petting a loving companion.
SignUpGenius registration is required. <a href="https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080B4EAFAA22A7FF2-paws1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Click here to register</a>. If all spots have been filled, please email Rachel at rfecho@mclinc.org to be placed on the waiting list!

Children in 1st through 5th grade are invited to join us at the Library to play chess with other children. We will have some chess sets available, but if you have one at home, please bring it along. Joe Fox, volunteer chess aficionado and retired teacher, will be on hand to help facilitate the program and to open up the hour with a chess puzzle. Mr. Joe has all current background clearances required to volunteer with children, but parents/caregivers are still required to remain in the Library building throughout the duration of the program, and must return to the Community Room promptly at 7:30.
Please note that this program is intended for children who already know how to play chess. It is not an instructional class, but rather an informal gathering to provide young chess players with the opportunity to play with other kids.
Registration is required. Please consider opting in to receive a text reminder about chess club! You will receive ONE text reminder, and your number will not be given to or used by anyone else for any other purpose at any time.
Number of people attending should&nbsp;include the total number of children, but not adults.
