The Cornell Cooperative Extension Service is hosting an AKC Home Manners Virtual Dog Program- December 2nd - January 13th. This virtual dog class will give youth the opportunity to train their dog at home while working with a trainer over zoom.

The class will focus on building youth/dog relationship, walking on a leash, food manners, reaction to doorbells/knocking, handling and setting up an exercise routine appropriate for the dog. At the end of the session youth will have the ability to challenge the AKC Home Manners test if they wish to do so. This program is free. If you have any questions about the program contact Kaitlyn at krs257@cornell.edu or: http://sullivancce.org/events/2020/12/02/akc-homemanners-program

The Western Sullivan Public Library wants you to know that if you are unable to make it to the library you can call them and they will arrange a delivery or send you materials in the mail.

No overdue fines are being charged through December 31, 2020, so if you are holding onto any materials from when the library was closed, now is a great time to drop them in our book returns.
