Kindergarteners through fifth graders can practice reading aloud to a specially trained therapy dog who loves to hear a good story. Children, who might be too shy to read to another person, just might open up to a sweet, calm dog, and get valuable reading practice. The cute pup will be at the Library on Saturdays, April 6, May 4 and June 1, at 11 a.m. This program is made possible by the generous time and effort of the Pasadena Humane Society.

For more information, please call (626) 821-5566 or visit the Arcadia Pubic Library’s website at ArcadiaCA.gov/library. The Arcadia Public Library is located at 20 W. Duarte Rd. The Library is open Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. – 9 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. You can also follow the Library on Facebook and Twitter.
