📚 Calling all young bookworms and canine enthusiasts! A tail-wagging event is coming your way at the Gail Borden Public Library District: Rakow Branch. Mark your calendars for an afternoon of furry friendship and reading fun!

On Sunday, May 19th, from 2pm to 3pm, the "Read to Rover for K - 8" program invites kids from Kindergarten through 8th grade to the cozy Children's area of the Rakow Branch, located at 2751 W Bowes Rd, Elgin, IL. This isn't just any reading session – it's a chance to read aloud to a certified therapy dog who's all ears for your stories!

🐾 Picture this: a serene spot where pages turn and tails wag in unison, where each word you read earns you a gentle nuzzle or an approving bark. It's the perfect opportunity for young readers to boost their confidence, improve their literacy skills, and make a new four-legged friend.

Remember, though, spots are as coveted as the last bone at the dog park! Registration opens on Monday, April 15th, 2024, at 9:00am. Be sure to sign up promptly, as space is limited.

If plans change and you can't make it, please cancel your registration to let another eager reader take your place. The library staff will be keeping tabs to ensure everyone gets a fair chance to participate.

So, grab your favorite book, practice your best storytelling voice, and prepare for an afternoon that's sure to be pawsitively delightful! 🐶📖
