PAWS TO READ WITH ORLA (Emerging Readers): Wednesday, December 19th between 3:30 and 4:30 PM
For many children, reading can be a daunting task. This can be especially true for shy, quiet kids. Paws to Read offers readers a quiet, calm opportunity to gain reading confidence with a friendly dog. Orla, the Golden Retriever therapy dog and her handler Kate are here to provide a “judgement free” zone for children to practice their reading skills. It doesn’t matter to Orla whether your child is an emerging or fluent reader. She is excited to sit and listen to your child read their favorite books.
Children should bring a simple book they feel comfortable with. We recommend practicing before your appointment to ensure you get the most out of your time. Sign up on the online calendar for the timeslot that works best for you.

EVENING: On the 19th at 6 PM we will be discussing Anxious People by Fredrik Backman. This is a poignant, charming novel about a crime that never took place, a would-be bank robber who disappears into thin air, and eight extremely anxious strangers who find they have more in common than they ever imagined.
MORNING: On the 22nd at 10:15 AM we will be discussing Skipping Christmas by John Grisham. Imagine a year without Christmas. No crowded shops, no corny office parties, no fruitcakes, no unwanted presents. That's just what the Kranks have in mind when they decide that, just this once, they'll skip the holiday altogether. But, as this weary couple is about to discover, skipping Christmas brings enormous consequences - and isn't half as easy as they'd imagined.
