Henderson Libraries may require you to obtain fingerprinting. Will you be able to do the required finger printing, if asked? Please note that if your fingerprints don't come back clear, it will be at the discretion of the Henderson Libraries Director as to whether you will be allowed to join the program. If you have any questions about this, please contact the library.

Henderson Libraries keeps a digital library of all Reading with Rover dogs. The photographs are used in educational presentations to public libraries, schools, and other educational institutions about our unique reading program. These photos are also used on our library website and in promotional materials. In addition, children participating in our program receive a story about and photograph of the therapy dog they will be working with. Therefore, we require all volunteers to send us one digital photograph of their dog, and to schedule an appointment for their dog with our photographer for a professional portrait. Are you willing to send us a digital photograph of your dog?

Would you be willing to take your dog to a professional pet photographer (at no expense to you)?

Is there anything else you feel we should know about your dog?
