Who let the Dogs In (the Library)

The Reading Dogs are Coming to
Limestone Township Library in October.

This is a school age program to encourage young readers to practice
reading out loud.
Specially trained dogs are eager and willing
to listen to the child read the book of their choice. The practice
increases fluency and confidence in the children. Readers are scheduled
for a
15 minute session with one dog.

Registration is needed for this program,
and there is no fee.
