In this session you will learn the power of having a therapy dog in your library. We will offer you two perspectives from an elementary site and a high school site from two different districts in NE Wisconsin. We will discuss the process for getting a dog certified as a therapy dog, how therapy dogs fit with library programming, and tips and tricks we’ve learned throughout the process. We’ll also share resources if you would like to contact a Therapy dog handler and dog team to come visit your library.
