DERBY - The Derby Public Library welcomes back Margie Miles and Sandy her therapy dog as they begin another year of the popular "Read to Sandy" program.
On Dec. 18 from 6-7 p.m., children ages 5-11 are invited to share a book with Sandy.
Each child will be
given a 10-15 minute time slot to read to the dog.
