We’ve got a bad case of puppy love at the Crestview Public Library.
First, we fell in love with Dozer the Therapy Dog, a Crestview Great Dane, which we get to read to from 10-11 a.m. the first Saturday of each month
Next, we fell for Jada, a border collie-golden retriever mix and licensed therapy dog, which we read to on Early Release Thursdays after Craft Time. Jada’s owner, Jan Jimmo, is bringing her for an extra event at 7 p.m. on Feb. 26 at the library.
We invite people ages 5 and up to meet Jada. Jimmo will share some dog-related facts, including how to approach a dog, what to do if you get lost to help a dog track you, and more.
Registration is not required for this free event. The first 18 people who sign in will receive crafts and snacks. Call me at 682-4432 with questions.
