Every Monday and Tuesday night, patrons of the Lewiston (NY) Public Library may see some four-footed visitors heading to the children’s room, red bandanas around their necks and two-footed friends in tow.These dogs are part of Tail Waggin’ Tutors, a program allowing children to improve their reading skills and develop a love of reading by practicing their skills with caring and patient canine friends.
