Animals, such as dogs, cats and bunnies, are the perfect reading companions because they create a relaxed, comfortable and safe environment for sharing books. Children must be able to read independently and are encouraged to share a favorite book. Registration is recommended and reserves a 15-minute session with a furry friend. Register online at jeffcolibrary.org. Patrons can also register by calling 303-235-5275 or visiting the front desk. . ## Similar picks in Denver - [Sugar Skulls & Calaveras (Golden)](https://grassyknees.com/denver/activities/sugar-skulls-and-calaveras-golden--listing-c63c98ba374ba7fe34c0926a) — Thu, Oct 29 · 5:00 PM – 6:00 PM · Jefferson County Public Library – Golden Library · Ages 5–18 · Free · checked Oct 23.
