I love the concept of being able to borrow baking tins and power tools from a library!
Our libraries have reading dogs available on certain afternoons. Children who aren't confident at reading can come in and sit with a dog and read a story aloud, and the dog will listen attentively without knocking the kid's pronunciation. I think it's a lovely idea, even as someone who isn't much of a dog person. I believe all the dogs in the programme are from the pound, and have done training to make sure they're the dogs for the job.
