Last Chance to Read to Therapy Dogs at Acorn Library

The Acorn Public Library will host two therapy dogs on Saturday, Nov. 24, starting at 2:30 p.m. Readers ages 7 and up can sign up for 10-minute time slots to read to the dogs.

Calling all kids, the Acorn Public Library is bringing in two very special pups and they want to help students improve their reading abilities.

This Saturday, Nov. 24, Waylon and Quincy, a pair of therapy dogs, will trot into the Acorn Public Library at 2:30 p.m. The duo will welcome all readers age 7 and up to read to them in 10-minute blocks. Readers can sign up at the library for a time slot.

Readers must be on time for their reading appointment or it will be forfeited. For more information, contact the Acorn Public Library at (708) 687-3700.
