CHILDREN'S PROGRAMS

 

Special Events 

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.
