Our Library system is pretty amazing here in Fort Wayne. There are about 15 library branches that are all connected and they offer so many neat activities and programs for children. This summer, we have been taking advantage of many of their fun programs, especially this one: PAWS To Read. Dog owners bring in their dogs and the children get a chance to read to them. Most of the dogs that are brought in are in training to be handicap dogs and it gives them a chance to practice sitting and listening to people. Of course the kids think its great! And now that Jaxton can actually read some books all by himself, it is a great opportunity for him to try reading. One of the dogs that always comes is named Cooper. He is a giant dog! And of course Cooper loves to read to Cooper! He enjoys just telling the dog a story based on the pictures of a book he chooses, so even non-readers can read to the dogs.
