all, whether you are an adult, teenager, or kid; the Library
is always in need of good volunteers to help out!

Dothan Therapy Dogs

Join us every other month for fun with Dothan Therapy
Dogs in the Childrens Section of the Library during the
Storytime programs at 10:30 and 4:30. They will be back
on Thursday, May 5, 2016.
Therapy Dogs International is a volunteer organization
dedicated to regulating, testing and registration of therapy
dogs and their volunteer handlers for the purpose of visiting
nursing homes, hospitals, other institutions and wherever
else therapy dogs are needed. From http://www.tdi-dog.org/About.aspx
Notes from the Treehouse:
Spring Break ends with a movie about a flying car and a family. During April,
we will be keeping up the family fun theme. We will be celebrating International
Guitar Month with an exciting guitar project. Next, we design a puzzle for
Autism month. Everyone loves kites and we are going to set ours into the air to
fly.
We will end April with a poem we will write and in which we will illustrate
like the popular coloring books available today. Remember to turn in your
coloring contest page so you can win a free book and surprise. Sign up for our
Saturday art lessons because we are doing a seven-week drawing course which will
build upon the previous class. Miss Ruth will be videoing the class and will upload
it to the Ozark Library You Tube, Blog, Facebook and Twitter. Please dont be
late because this will interrupt the video. Go to Facebook and look up our Word
of the day! and #Factoid.

Learn Always,
Miss Ruth
