CHILDREN'S PROGRAMS
R.O.A.R. Reading Buddies Saturdays, from 11 am until 12:15 pm April 14 Grades 1 - 3 The therapy dogs from Ridgefield Operation for Animal Rescue spent the summer and fall here being good listeners to our young readers. They are continuing the program in 2012, and will be here one Saturday per month. The program gives reluctant readers in grades one through three the opportunity to practice their reading skills on avid doggie listeners. Children may register for one 10-minute reading slot per month. Please stop by or call the library to register - 763-3857. Note: the dog trainers have found the program works best when the child is allowed to read one-on-one with the dog, with no outside distractions such as parents, siblings or other children listening in. Please keep this in mind when both your child and other children are reading.

Grades 1 - 5 The Wednesday Club meets from 4:30-5:30 on the 4th Wednesday of each Month: April 25, & May 23 The Monday Club meets from 4:30-5:30 on the 2nd Monday of each Month: April 9, & May 14 Response to our Lego Club was so overwhelming, we had to add a second session!

The program is run by teen volunteers, who will assign a theme for each meeting and offer assistance when needed. Please call the library to register.
