Barks & Books Special Story Hour: Featuring Local Authors

Sit. Stay. Read! Dogs make great listeners, and reading out loud to them can improve reading comprehension and confidence. Grab a book and take a paws to read out loud to a trained therapy dog! Dogs are handled by volunteers from Pet Partners of Greater Cincinnati.

And this Barks and Books will be a special one at the Lawrenceburg Main Library!

Five local children's authors will be reading one of their books throughout the hour. You can listen to a story with the therapy dogs! Kids attending any of the storytimes will receive a mini plush dinosaur, while supplies last, in celebration of our Summer Reading Challenge theme- Unearth a Story!
