Join us next Friday, May 15th, from 3:30 pm - 4:00 pm for Ty the therapy dog's retirement celebration!🐾
Ty has volunteered as our Tail Waggin' Tutors dog at Jonesborough Library for over 10 years and has earned some well-deserved time off! We all love Ty, and we know many of you do, too! Drop in to say goodbye, take some photos, and grab a treat (for humans ☺️)! There are still some reading slots available between 4 pm and 5 pm if you would like to sign up to read him a story one more time. Thank you, Ty, for helping so many young readers gain confidence and a love of reading over the years!
