Wild about Reading
going on now
Boys and Girls, do you want to be a better reader? We want you to read to our stuffed animals. You can read and keep the likes of Pooh Bear, Clifford, Elmo and many more company in the library. Go to the front desk and choose the animal you want to read to and the staff will check out the animal to you for 30 minutes. You and your stuffed companion can read in a quiet corner of the library. Just bring your friend back to the desk when you are done.
