Join Monona Public Library with author Sharee Miller on Facebook Live for a special National Women's History Month story time! Sharee Miller has written and illustrated the incredibly popular books "Princess Hair" and "Don't Touch My Hair", and will be reading her newest book, "Michelle's Garden"! From her website:
"Former First Lady Michelle Obama had an idea. A big, inspiring, and exciting idea! She would grow the largest kitchen garden ever at the White House. This wouldn’t be easy, since she’d never gardened before: Where should she start? What tools did she need? What would she plant?
Everyone needs help when they’re learning something for the first time, even the first lady of the United States. So she gathered the help of local students, the White House staff, and even President Barack Obama. Together, they wouldn’t just grow a garden — they would inspire a nation!"
Sharee will also do a demonstration for children that shows how she creates her phenomenal and full-of-life illustrations!
This event will take place on Facebook Live on the main Monona Public Library page! We encourage families to add comments to the live video if children have any questions for Sharee Miller, and Ms. Tiffany will ask them!

Mail Art is a fantastic way to bring art to EVERYBODY! Anything that you can get a stamp and address to stick to is fair game. We will use different art media to create postcards that we can share far and wide. Make a series or one-off pieces. It’s art for the people and it's time to share!

How to Join the Program: You will receive an email with instructions on how to get set up the day before the program starts!
Register children, independent readers, for a 15 minute time slot, and to receive a link to this online event. Just you, your child the dog /owner team, and Ms. Karen.
You will receive the Zoom link in your email on Monday before the event start time. When you click on the link, you will be in an online waiting room until admitted. Ms. Karen will introduce your child to the dog/owner and then will "leave the room" by blanking the screen, but she is really still there. Your child will read a book from your personal book shelf or library bag to the owner/dog team. When time is up, Ms. Karen will come back onto the screen to say goodbye, remove your device from the program, and admit the next child.
Have a book ready that you will read to the dog / owner team (we provide the dog, you provide the book)
Read for about 15 minutes
The program improves children’s reading and communication skills by employing a powerful method: reading to a therapy animal. But not just any animal. Dogs on Call teams are registered therapy animals that volunteer with their handler going to schools, libraries, and many other settings as reading companions for children. Learning to read is often less about intellectual limitation than about overcoming fears. Animals are ideal reading companions because they:
Help increase relaxation and lower blood pressure.
