BELLINGHAM - A couple of four-legged, furry officers of the Bellingham Police Department will make an appearance at the downtown location of the Bellingham Library for a presentation Thursday, Feb. 2.

Officer Shan Hannon will bring two police dogs to the library, 210 Central Ave., from 4 to 5:30 p.m. to show people how the dogs help officers solve crimes in the field.

The event is free and open to the public, with families welcome. The presentation ties in with this year's Whatcom READS! book, "In the Presence of the Enemy," a police procedural novel by Elizabeth George.
