Write to the Dogs
Your Library therapy dog friends miss seeing you! Send an email to any of these furry friends and tell them what you’ve been up to, ask them questions, share what you’ve been reading, or write about some fun facts. They will send you an email response with their picture!
Send your email letter with “Write to the Dogs” in the subject to lori.lorenz@elmlib.org and she will be sure your dog gets your mail.
Please limit your emails to one dog each month, so they will be able to respond to everyone.

Earth Day Collections At Home
The Library planned on gathering bread tabs and pop can tabs at the Library for Earth Day … but plans change. We can still collect these recyclable items at home! Bring what you’ve collected to the Library when we reopen.
