Paws for Reading program at NT Library
The North Tonawanda Public Library, 505 Meadow Drive, recently announced the return of its Paws for Reading program for children in grades K-6. Children may practice their reading skills and make a new friend by reading aloud to a certified therapy dog. The library was also excited to introduce its new friend Timmy, the pug.
Join the library on the second Sunday and the last Sunday of each month beginning Sundays, Oct. 14 and 28, Nov. 11, and Dec. 9 and 30 from 1 -2:45 p.m. This time includes a flexible 15-minute break for Timmy. One can sign up for a 15-minute session by calling the library.
This is an opportunity for children who are reluctant readers, reluctant about dogs, or just love to read and be with Timmy.
The library requests parents of children ages 10 and younger to stay in the library. Register by calling the library at 693-4132, ext. 5 or emailing
