Tales to Make your Tail Wag – January in the Library

Retired librarian and bibliographer Janice Williams created a list of books featuring dogs for this month’s display table.  Our furry friends are warm and devoted company during these chilly months and deserve recognition.

Some dogs might like to have someone read to them—check out recent rescue pooch “Niner” in the picture below with Paul Schettler, who is a dedicated volunteer at the Jackson County Animal Shelter.

Niner has a variety books to choose from, including both fiction and non-fiction books.  A few examples include:

Irresistible Titles:

Paw and Order and The Dog Who Knew Too Much, by Spencer Quinn
