Sit, Stay, Read
*The event has already taken place on this date: Sat, 10/28/2017
Every fourth Saturday of the month from 10:30 AM to 12:00 noon, children and their families are invited to come and read with a registered therapy dog. South Mountain Community Library has paired with Paws 2 Read, an organization that connects young readers with registered therapy dog teams. The dogs offer children the opportunity to enhance their reading skills without any fear or judgment. The library has three dogs, along with their handlers, who enjoy listening as children read to them. All young readers are invited to meet the dogs (Maddy, Barney, and Posey), pick out a favorite book, then sit down and practice reading to a new friend. We especially encourage all 2nd and 3rd graders who would benefit from having a reading buddy to help boost their skills.
