When children read out loud to dogs, it helps them "by providing a non-judgmental listener and furry friend to read to that won’t laugh at them if they make a mistake or stumble over a word, but rather lie next to them and enjoy the story being read to them. The children learn to associate reading with being with the dog, and begin to view reading in a positive way."
For more information about library therapy dogs, call the Library at 610-374-2385.

Where: Wyomissing Public Library When: Wednesday February 12th, starts at 6pm Details: The subject of February's program will be "What To the Slave is the Fourth of July?", an address given by Frederick Douglass in Rochester, NY on July 5, 1852. The American Scripture Project is a series of six discussion programs which grew out of the Aspen Institute’s Rebuilding Democracy Project through the Northern Virginia Hebrew Congregation. The project grew out of concern about the growing polarization in communities across the country. |
According to the American Scriptures website, "We believe that the exploration of American scriptures - various texts written throughout our nation’s history to express great ideas - will reteach us: (1) how to talk with each other in a way that fosters the democratic values of dignity, respect, courage, openness, compassion, and justice, and (2) how to wrestle with, understand, question, strengthen, and/or rewrite our national narratives."
In Berks County, the project was initially launched at Temple Oheb Shalom in Wyomissing under the leadership of Rabbi Brian Michelson.
