“ROCKET” READERS Reading is vital for children to succeed in school and in life, but many of them struggle with reading. What better listener than a friendly, non-judgmental dog from the Heart of Texas Therapy Dogs program? These programs are growing in libraries across the country and researchers report a rise in reading levels among participating children. Independent readers (grades 1-5) can bring a favorite book from home or choose one from the library, and read it to a furry friend while here at the library!

Grades: 1-5 Day/Time: 2nd Saturday of the month, 10:30 a.m.-12:00 p.m.

Dates: Jan. 8, Feb. 12, Mar. 12, Apr. 9, May 14 Location: Colleyville Public Library, 2nd Floor Registration: YES. Opens Jan. 10 and can be done in person or online at ColleyvilleLibrary.com.
