Want a cozy place to take your child after school one day? Looking for ways to sneak in some fun reading time too? The Read to a A Dog program for children is back with more upcoming dates! Join the Morganton Public Library at Burke County Animal Services at 4:00PM on May 23rd to participate in this special program!
Why read to a dog?
>>>Reading to a dog gives children extra practice in reading and oral skills.
>>>Children can feel comfortable because dogs don't judge if a word is mispronounced.
>>>If children feel nervous when reading, dogs can help calm them down.
The address for Burke County Animal Services is 425 Kirksey Drive, Morganton. Pre-registration is requested, but drop-ins are welcome. Call 828-764-9274 to pre-register.
