Tales to Tails
Wednesday, May 30, 4:30 – 5:30 p.m.

Children who love dogs or need to boost their reading skills may sign up for a 10 minute session reading to Jessie, a certified therapy dog. Unlike peers, animals are attentive listeners; they don’t judge or criticize, so children are more comfortable and inclined to forget about their own fears.
