The Yorkville Public Library hosts Read with Paws at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, July 27.
Children can come to the library, select a book and read to a furry friend. All therapy dogs and handlers have been certified by an accredited organization.
This program was designed originally because children feel less pressure to read to a dog than an adult, so it was meant to be a way to help struggling readers or even just encourage reading. It is open to all levels of readers and non-readers.
Those interested must register for their 15-minute time slot on the YPL website. Space is limited. If unable to attend, contact the library.
The Yorkville Public Library is located at 902 Game Farm Road.
