Read to Your Pet Event!

Toby would love for someone to come read to him!

Pets are more than adorable fuzzy faces--they're also effective promoters of childhood literacy. Children can relax, have fun, and gain confidence as they read to animals that are as nonjudgmental as they are cute.

Interested? Come to the library's Read to Your Pet event on Saturday, September 28, from 1-3 pm. Pets--both real and stuffed--are welcome in the library on this special day. Children will have a storytime with Samma and then be able to choose from a wide variety of animal-themed books that they can read to their pets. Please note that all pets should be on a leash or in a carrier, and owners are responsible for their pets while they're in the library.

If you have questions or would like more information, please contact Samma Johnson at johnson@augustalibrary.org or call (715) 286-2070.
