## About

Kids ages 6-12 boost their literacy skills by reading aloud to trained therapy dogs. No registration required. This is a drop-in Bark for Books event. Registration is not necessary; however, there are only six 15-minute reading spots available with the therapy dog, Penny. Early arrival will more likely guarantee your child's spot to read with Penny.
