The Cashiers Bibliophiles Book Club meets the second Wednesday of the month at 5:30 pm; taking a break in June, July and August. The Club is sponsored by the Friends of the Library.
The Library is hosting therapy dogs for children to read to. The R.E.A.D. (Reading Education Assistance Dogs) program was such a success during the summer that the library hopes to continue it through the school year. Children are invited to stop by the library at 3:30 pm on Wednesdays to read out loud to Lily, Cera, Pilar or Darcy.
These special pups help children improve their reading skills and to increase the joy of reading aloud to a non-critical "audience." Children of all ages are welcome to choose a book to read to the certified therapy dogs, who are joined by their owners during the free sessions. The library thanks dog owners Deanna Klingel, Jo Ann Guise, Jeri Wexelbaum and Margo Purdy.
Friends of the Cashiers Library President, Sandy Bayley, accepted a generous $1,000 donation from the Rotary Club of Cashiers Valley. The money has been used to update geography and science sections of the children’s collection and to purchase new beginning reader books.
During the week, there are special programs for pre-schoolers and home-schoolers. And the Reading Rover brings the library to pre-schoolers and day care providers throughout the area.
