Addendum to August Dog Days Event

Longevity/Sustainability: While it is hoped that the Dog Day at the Library would become an annual event, this is really a kick-off for the Dog-Earred Book Club. Depending on the success of the program and the willingness of the therapy dog volunteers, we can take several routes:

1. A month of Saturday Dog-Earred Book Clubs at Central with once a month Dog-Earred Book Clubs rotating at Branches throughout the year.
2. The kick-off Dog-Earred Book Club at Central with once a month Dog-Earred Book Clubs rotating at Branches throughout the year.
3. The kick-off Dog-Earred Book Club at Central with once a month Book Clubs continuing to meet at Central and satellite Book Clubs once a month either permanently at certain Branches or rotating from Branch to Branch.

There is a lot of flexibility in the sustainability of this program and its inclusion in the Branches. Much will depend on how many therapy dog volunteers we can procure and their schedules, as well as how many Branches wish to participate and at what depth.
