Upcoming Event: Pat Wright- The Dog Listener of the East

Pat Wright: The Dog Listener of the East

Wednesday, May 14th, 2014

7:30 PM

Perrot Memorial Library Children's Wing

Pat Wright has been working with dogs for more than twenty years and seen just about every type of dog behavior there is. Wright will discuss why our dogs do what they do, and discuss how we can communicate with them in their language to let them come to peace in the human world. Some of the many topics to be discussed are: pulling on the leash, jumping up, aggression, separation anxiety, and excessive barking. There will be a question and answer period at the end of the talk.

Teens: Looking for a summer volunteer opportunity?

. . .Perrot needs you! Perrot is looking for teen volunteers for its Youth Services department to help run the summer reading program for kids.

Who can be a Perrot Library Summer Teen Volunteer?
Anyone who is going into Grades 7 and up, and who can volunteer at least 5 hours during the summer.

When do volunteers work?
From June 23rd to August 1st, whenever the library is open. You can set your own schedule and sign up for shifts during mornings, afternoons, or evenings.

Why volunteer?
• To help others
• To learn job skills
• To earn community service hours
• To meet other teens and have fun!

How do I become a Summer Teen Volunteer?
Easy! Just pick up an application at the Youth Services Desk (or download one here- PDF), have a parent or guardian sign it, and drop it off.

How do I learn what to do?
All volunteers must attend a 30-minute training session in June where we’ll teach you everything you need to know. (Even if you volunteered last summer, you must attend this year's training session.)
