Kids 'Read to Rover'

Children ages 7 and up may practice reading aloud at a "Read to Rover" event held on Saturday, Nov. 20, at the Oak Lawn Public Library, 5300 W. 95th St. 

From 11 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., registered therapy dogs from the Rainbow Animal Assisted Therapy of Chicago will be on-hand to serve as attentive, nonjudgmental, one-on-one listeners for young readers who sign up for a 15-minute time slot. 

Advance registration is required at the Youth Services Desk with the child's library card.  Special needs children are also encouraged to participate.
