Read to Spirit and Mandy

0

Wednesday, March 21
5:00 pm - 7:00 pm

B.A.R.K! Come to the library and Be A Reading Kid. Both Spirit (a Newfoundland) and Mandy (a Greyhound) will be here to listen to stories and have pictures taken with them. Each child will be given a bookmark with a photo of them and the dog.

Reading to  dogs has been shown to increase not only a child’s interest in reading, but also helps them gain confidence in their ability to read. The Derby Neck Library has sponsored reading dogs for several years and are proud to include these two wonderful dogs in the program.

Little ones who aren’t readers are also invited to come and give them some love!

Registration is not necessary, but  you may call to request a reservation for a specific time.
