Registered therapy dogs and their volunteer owners visit the Library to spend time one-on-one with participants.&nbsp;Space is limited and registration is required.
School-age children can practice reading with one of the dogs, if they wish. Why read to dogs? Most children have a natural affinity for and bond with dogs, and because dogs are non-judgmental, children are less self-conscious while reading aloud to them. Children can improve their reading skills in a fun and relaxed atmosphere, while enhancing self-esteem, motivating speech, and building confidence. Reading to a therapy dog can decrease stress and anxiety in general, and specifically while reading aloud in front of other human listeners! If children associate reading with struggle, worry, or embarrassment, this is a chance to create new and pleasant associations with reading instead!

Discover how sewing shaped American life before ready-to-wear fashion.&nbsp;Based on the DAR Museum’s 2024 exhibition, this program examines the way in which American women (and men) from the 18th and 19th centuries learned and deployed their sewing skills to furnish their households, earn livings, and express themselves, with contemporary examples of the themes explored.&nbsp;Select garments will be highlighted during the program to show different ways the nation’s birthdays have been celebrated.
Presented by Liz Bauer, a volunteer docent of the DAR Museum in Washington, D.C.&nbsp;She lives in Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia with her husband and two young sons. Liz also volunteers as a garden educator at a local arboretum. As a&nbsp;sewing&nbsp;enthusiast, she is always interested in learning new&nbsp;sewing&nbsp;skills and techniques. &nbsp;
