If your child loves books and dogs, the Roanoke Public Library has the perfect Saturday morning plan.
On Saturday, August 16, from 10:30 a.m. to noon, young readers can meet Finch, a gentle golden retriever mix with a big heart. Finch is part of the library’s Bow Wow Readers program, where children can practice reading aloud to Finch, who the library says is a friendly, nonjudgmental listener. Finch makes the perfect audience for building confidence and making reading fun.
Whether you sign up for a reading slot or just happen to be at the library, Finch will be there to lend a listening ear. The atmosphere is relaxed, encouraging, and tailor-made for kids who want to improve their reading skills in a stress-free way.
This event is open to all ages, so even the youngest book lovers can get in on the fun.
