Paws Your Day for Family Reading Time

Kids can practice reading with the help of Benny the therapy dog and his owner, Carol! Families can schedule a 15 minute appointment slot during Paws for Reading every Tuesday from 4:00 to 5:00 pm to meet Benny and to read to him. This is a great opportunity for kids to learn about therapy dogs and to inspire a love of reading at a young age!
