Volunteers from K9 TheraPets of Hawaii will teach children (and their parents) what steps to take when greeting a dog. Besides being incredibly adorable, all furry wet-nosed quadrupeds in this program are registered therapy dogs with the national Alliance of Therapy Dogs. A meet and greet session will follow the presentation.
These volunteers visit hospitals, nursing homes, libraries, schools and facilities where interaction with their dogs provide a beneficial “therapeutic contact” for people.
Program schedule is subject to change. If you require an auxiliary aid or accommodation due to a disability, please contact the library at least 7 days before the program date.
