Meet Tru, a loyal volunteer in the Children’s storytime room two Tuesdays a month from 4:00 – 5:00 pm in the Louisville Library. Caretaker Ruth Green says the lovable Dane likes nothing better to stretch out with her head in a child’s lap and be read to.

Tru also works as a therapy dog at the Louisville Senior Center, Avista Adventist Hospital and Good Samaritan Hospital. Good dog Tru!
