Reading with Rover
Last evening was another meeting of Read to Rover at the Nesconset Branch and both the kids and the dogs enjoyed a night out at the library! During the program children have an opportunity to read to a certified therapy dog for a 15 minute session. The dogs listen quietly and are a non-judgemental audience, perfect for a reluctant reader who will feel comfortable practicing their reading skills on them. For more information about next month's session click the link: Read to Rover
