Kids have opportunity to read to a special canine at Derby Public Library

Ollie is a good listener.

DERBY - Children ages 4-11 are welcome to be part of the popular B.A.R.K. (Be A Reading Kid) program from 4-5 p.m. Jan. 7 at Derby Public Library. 

This is a great opportunity for beginner or reluctant readers - as well as experienced readers - to build confidence, enhance literary skills achieved during the school year, and develop a love of reading.

Children will be given a 10-minute time slot to read and may select a book from Ollie’s Book Picks to share with him for the program.

The Library is at 313 Elizabeth St.
