Hello!
Welcome to my page. I’m so glad you’re here. Most of you know me, but if you don’t … my name is Paisley.
I’m a mini double-doodle. I’m friendly and I love to play. If I bark, it’s not because I’m trying to be scary; I want you to play with me. I can’t talk with words like you do, so my bark is my way of talking.
I’m a member of Love on a Leash, which means I get to work as a therapy dog. I visit people in nursing homes and out in the public. It’s so much fun and so rewarding!
I hope you will visit me at the Library. You can even send me an email. Look for my address on this page, click on it, and write me a letter. I’ll write you back.
Love,
Paisley
Contact me at my new email address: Paisley@walton.lib.in.us and then we can talk! I will write back. Puppy promise!
“And I’d like to say hi, too! I’m Baxter. You may have seen me running around the library, stopping for a quick visit and begging for a hug. I’m still a puppy, so I have a lot of energy. I love to be surrounded by fun people, especially kids. I love licking your face or playing games with you. I’m working with Paisley as an Assistant Pet Services Librarian. It’s the best job ever! So, please stop by and ask to see me because I want to see you!”
Love,
Baxter
Our Newest Pet Services Librarian Member
Welcome, Zoe!! 
Look for her roaming around the bookshelves on occasion. She’s a feisty, but friendly puppy. In fact, she’s Paisley’s little sister. So, if you’re friends with Paisley, it should be easy to love on her baby sis.
Zoe is still learning the ropes, but between Paisley’s and Baxter’s help, she’s catching on quickly to her job. (Which, let’s face it, most of the time includes rub downs and hugs. And, let’s not forget the special “T” word – treats!!)
Ask to visit with any of our Pet Services Librarians. Keep in mind, they do have days off of work. But when they’re on site, they’re always glad to spend time with you.
Zoe Becomes Mascot for New Reading Program
Jumping in as fast as she can, Zoe has become the library’s “poster puppy” for our newest reading program for our youngest patrons. The program, “1,000 Books Before Kindergarten,” is aimed at getting youngsters to read – or even to listen to the written word – as often as possible before entering kindergarten. The program has proven to be successful in helping kids excel in education. For more information, ask for Tosha, Children’s Clerk, at 574-626-2234 or via email at tmusselman@walton.lib.in.us.
