P.A.W.P.A.L.S. at PPL

Good Tuesday young Pomonans! As you can see we had a great time with P.A.W.P.A.L.S. here on Saturday. Mayor Rothman came and Amelia (our P.A.W.P.A.L.S. dog) was quite fond of him!
I wonder if he read her a dog book?

This coming Saturday we are having Adventure Quest Institute come and put on a program of dog sledding. They will be outside in the Civic Center Plaza in front of the Library. Come out and see what it takes to ride on the Iditarod. Displays include a dogsled, snowshoes, arctic boots and parkas to help bring literature to life. Robert Stadley, a former Disney University presenter, uses his storytelling skills to share his personal experiences racing Alaskan sled dogs. You don't want to miss this!!

Our Homework Assistance Center is open on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 4:00-6:00pm. This center is staffed with volunteers from Cal Poly Pomona. If you need help with your homework, this is the place to be!

Joke of the day: What dog is the best swimmer?
Answer: A lap dog. ;)

P.A.W.P.A.L.S. To Come to PPL this Saturday!

Hey young Pomonans! Come to the Library this Saturday to read to a dog like this one pictured. P.A.W.P.A.L.S. stands for Reading Education Assistance Dogs from the Paws to Heal Group. A child will be paired with a dog to practice their reading. How cool is that?

This program begins the Pomona Big Read Program. All Pomonans (including young Pomonans) are to read the book, "Call of the Wild", by Jack London. This book is about a dog and we thought this would be the perfect way to include you in our big read.

Mark the time at 1:00pm-3:00pm in the children's room for this great opportunity. How often do you see a dog in the Library?

Joke of the day: What do you give to a dog to make him laugh?
Answer: A Funny Bone! :)
