"Daylight saving time ends this weekend, when the clocks “fall back” an hour. The seasonal time change is scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 5. Daylight saving time concludes at 2 a.m. that day, marking the official hour to reset all clocks to standard time. This adjustment instantaneously reverts local time to 1 a.m., granting an additional hour." credit: Point/Plover Metrowire Good morning, Jaguars - Happy November!

To access these films during #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth, go to http://kanopy.com/category/67095 Several DeKalb County Public Library branches have programs for children to read to a therapy dog. This picture is from Tucker-Reid H. Cofer Library's Read to a Pet Partner program. As you can see, Mocha Java loves listening to stories--just look at that face! Reading to animals allows children to practice their read-aloud skills in a non-judgmental environment. One study found that reading to dogs has a calming effect on children, reducing their levels of stress and anxiety. A second study showed that reading to animals motivates children to read more and gives them confidence.
