UPCOMING EVENTS
Paws to Read
Grades K-4
When we all go back to school in the fall, look for more visits on the second Monday of each month, 4:00 to 5:30 to meet our favorite canine buddy, Johnny Claude.
If your child is a reluctant reader who hates to read aloud or a future acting star who loves to dramatize a book or a creative writer who makes up stories, Johnny Claude is the right audience for them. He’s a beautiful big black standard poodle who is also a certified therapy dog and he loves to listen to kids read or tell stories or act out a book. He and his person, Gretchen, will be at the library to listen to kids do their thing. He’s a wonderful audience because he’s totally non-judgmental and won’t correct pronunciation or anything else.
Please sign up your child at the front desk or call the library at 329-6411 to set up a fifteen minute session with Johnny Claude the Listener Dog.
READ TO RIDE AT THE RYE AIRFIELD
Kids who love to skateboard or do BMX riding can earn a free trip to the Rye Airfield simply by reading five books. Pick up a Read to Ride bookmark for each book you read, tell a librarian about the book after you've read it and have the bookmark stamped.
When you have accumulated five stamped bookmarks, take them to the Rye Airfield for a fun filled free day of riding or boarding.
