Have you met our new furry, four-legged friend in the Central Library children's room?
We've enjoyed the dogs in our Paws to Read program so much that we decided we needed our own! Our dog is getting hugs and pets from lots of children, but he doesn't have a name yet.
So we need your help - stop by the children's room at Central Library anytime between now and July 3, and submit your vote for the perfect name. And remember--this is a library dog, so literary names are encouraged!
The librarians will choose the winning name, and the winner will receive a $25 gift card from Barston's Child's Play, an Arlington toy and book store.A special thanks to Child's Play, for donating the gift card!
