Did you know that some dogs love to listen when new or experienced readers practice reading aloud? Each person will have a turn reading aloud to one of the three dogs who alternate coming to Rockridge to help you practice reading; Finn, Gladys, or Christina. Drop by on Thursday afternoons, check in at the Children's Reference Desk to sign up for your turn. Get accessibility information .
