Volunteers from K9 TheraPets of Hawaii will teach children (and their parents) safety steps to take when approaching or 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.  Have fun watching these specially trained dogs perform various exercises.  A meet and greet session will follow the presentation.  Children can also adopt and make their own paper dog, while supplies last.  Children must be accompanied by a parent or caregiver.

These volunteers visit hospitals, nursing homes, libraries, schools and facilities where interaction with their dogs provide a beneficial “therapeutic contact” for people.

Please note:  this program is being held in lieu of a regular scheduled storytime.
