Read-to-Me Dogs
Would you like to spend some time with a friendly dog and practice your reading skills? Come to the library and read aloud to one of our Read-to-Me dogs, China and Josie. (Their handlers are friendly, too!)
Reading to a dog is an enjoyable way to stay motivated while your reading improves. The dogs, who are trained and certified therapy dogs, are great listeners with lots of patience.
Call Youth Services – 725-5242 x225 – to sign up for a reading session. Several spaces are available during school vacation week. For kids in grades 1-4.
