Pippi, our resident Reading Education Assistance Dog (R.E.A.D.), is here to help kids with their reading. Email her at pippithereaddog@gmail.com to set up a 20-minute reading appointment. Her hours are Monday-Friday from 3-5 pm. She'll come to your branch. Please mention in your email what date(s) and times work best for you as well as the age and reading level of your child.
