As a member of the Greater Beech Grove Chamber of Commerce, I diligently try to attend all functions. Today was our monthly meeting and we had a fabulous speaker, Melody Stevens from Handi-Capable Hands, Inc. Watch for an upcoming post about what ther services she & Handi-Capable Hands provide.
Today I learned about some various programs that our provided by our local library. The library has a Summer Reading Program for children. You will also find that the library has therapy dogs that come in for children to read to. This is a great program for children, who struggle with reading, and get discouraged by adults or other children correcting them. The kids can snuggle up and read to the dog, and the dog is not going to correct them. This is a great confidence builder for children.
I had heard of this program, but never realized that is was offered at our library.
You will also find the Dining Car Cafe, and The Crossings Gift Shop. Stop by to see what they have to offer. I can speak from expierence that the food in the cafe is wonderful, & they cater!
Are you a resident of Beech Grove who is homebound? No problem the library also has a program they offer for the homebound. You can have a friend or family member pick up books that were selected for you by the staff, and in some cases even have a library associate deliver books to you. There are meeting rooms, as well as many other services offered.
As a child, I loved to read and to go to the library. I still love to read, and although I haven't spent as much time at the library as I would like, still love to go. The Beech Grove Public Library has much to offer, and best of all the majority of it is free!
So if you haven't had the opportunity to visit the library lately, please do so. And if you or anyone you know of has a Real Estate need in the Central Indiana area feel free to contact me at www.dawnwhalen.com or 317-459-5182
