Everything you wanted to know about dogs and canine care will be highlighted later this month at the Hendrick Hudson Free Library in Montrose, actually on the library’s lawn. Learn about dogs, meet some new barking friends and bring your own pooch to the library.
“Patrons and their dogs are invited to attend this unique event on the library front lawn. Both human and canine ambassadors will be present from the Elmsford Animal Shelter, Greyhound Rescue and Rehab, the K-9 Unit of the New York State Troopers, and others. Learn about canine care and how you can help these worthwhile organizations,” reads the library’s announcement.
“Dog Days at the Library” is from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, July 12.
Registration began on June 27th. All those attending with their pets must be registered. Call the Hendrick Hudson Free Library at 914-739-5654.

Dogs and libraries are a great combination, I can attest to that as a mom and former dog owner. Also, I wrote about a dog therapy program at an elementary school which totally engaged some special students.
Many libraries, such as the Mahopac Public Library, have invited dogs inside for special storytimes.
Check out a Web site called librarydogs.com devoted to canines and libraries. This adorable photo (above) is from the site.
I would love to hear some dog-and-book stories, see some photos? Any cat tales out there? Comment here or send to my e-mail at bnackman@LoHud.com
