Temescal Branch (In the Children's Area) • Oakland Public Library

Did you know that some dogs love to listen when new or experienced readers practice reading aloud? Our furry friends Navi and Barley are gentle, trained therapy dogs who patiently listen to reading-age kids & tweens as they gain confidence to read out loud. Drop by on the second Monday of each month to read with Navi and Barley! Get accessibility information .
