🐾 Farewell to Kenzie: the story-time dog who changed everything! 🐾 After seven years of inspiring young readers at Mornington Library, Kenzie has retired, leaving behind an incredible legacy. Together with her humans, Bill and Marilyn, Kenzie turned reluctant readers into confident bookworms, helping kids with ADHD, dyslexia, and reading anxiety find their love for books. This week, the community came together to celebrate Kenzie with hugs, treats, and gratitude for the lives she’s touched. From boosting literacy to building self-esteem, Kenzie’s impact will never be forgotten. 💖🐶 https://mornpen.link/41 Enjoy your well-deserved retirement, Kenzie! You’ve earned it. ✨📚 #ThankYouKenzie #StoryDogs #LibraryHero
