  • Summer at the Library, Part 2
    Jun 17 2024

    Our story tonight is called Summer at the Library, Part 2, and it is a continuation of last week’s story, but you don’t really need to hear part one, to enjoy part two. It’s a story about a special summer program that brings littles and furry friends together at a favorite place. It’s also about red popsicles, sounding out big words, beach towels spread on the patio stones, book spread out on tables and enjoying the feeling of having something to look forward to.

    We give to a different charity each week, and this week, we are giving to the At-choo Foundation. This foundation is passionate about helping homeless street dogs (and cats) get the safety and urgent medical care they need.
