Woof! August is National Dog Month
|
To celebrate National Dog Month, we've curated a collection of books celebrating our canine friends--and we had help! Visit the Brookline Village Library to see our adult and children's dog displays, featuring recommendations from some very photogenic (and very good) library staff dogs. The Public Library of Brookline is dog-friendly and welcomes all leashed dogs.
