The Swanton Public Library will host Reading Paws this this month.
Reading Paws combines kids, dogs, and books. Children sign up to read aloud for 20 minutes to a certified therapy dog, who is happy just to listen. Improve reading skills and have fun reading with a friendly dog at the same time.
Australian shepherd Natty will be at the library on two Saturdays this month, July 9 and 23, from 10 a.m. to noon. Kids can read to her in 20-minute slots. Six slots are available.
