SUMMARY:PAWS to Read
DESCRIPTION:“Paws to Read” pairs certified therapy animals with young readers who gain reading confidence in a relaxed\, stress-free environment.  For reluctant or struggling readers in grades 1-5. \nOur therapy dogs & bunnies visit the Library with their owners\, who volunteer their time to help young readers. Children’s reading abilities improve as they gain confidence through reading to animals. Why? Animals listen uncritically and wag their tails or twitch their noses as the children read. Research indicates that under these conditions\, children’s heart rates actually slow\, resulting in a state of calm that leads to greater reading success. \nChildren involved in PAWS programs nationwide have shown: \n\nImproved READING skills\nA sense of PRIDE in their accomplishments\nWillingness to become INVOLVED in other positive activities\nIncreased RESPECT and KINDNESS in their interactions with animals\nGreater READING enjoyment and increased LIBRARY usage\n\nProgram is currently full\, please contact Jennifer Whitehead and Judy Schmidt to join the interest list.\n323-0417.

SUMMARY:A Musical Afternoon with Eloise & Co.
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Clapp Memorial Library on Saturday\, May 4 at 2:30pm for a musical afternoon with Eloise & Co.\, featuring the combined creative force of three of the country’s most sought-after traditional musicians: Becky Tracy\, Rachel Bell\, and Bethany Waickman. These three dig into powerhouse reels with electrifying grit and unapologetic drive\, while savoring the spacious beauty of jigs and waltzes\, with styles ranging from French to Celtic to Quebecois. Originally thrown together at an event where Becky led the contra dance portion of the evening and Rachel led the French dance part of the evening\, they have continued to fuse these two elements into their concerts and dances\, as well as adding songs and original compositions to the mix. Their latest project was a series of music videos filmed in unique Vermont places\, all of which are available at www.rachelbellmusic.com/eloiseandco \nThis program is made possible by the Friends of the Clapp Memorial Library.
