PAWS for Reading is a program that allows children to read to a trained therapy dog! Reading to a dog is fun and can help improve reading and communication skills because a dog doesn't care if you stumble or make you feel awkward. Sign up for a 15 minute time slot to read to Burgess by calling us at 613-395-2837 or emailing info@stirlinglibrary.com or just drop into the library and ask! Tuesdays from July 8th to August 19th
