BARK (Bismarck Animals Reading with Kids)

(Bismarck Animals Reading with Kids)

BARK is for kids who want practice reading with non-judgmental listeners—dogs! The Library offers this special program with local therapy dogs. Independent readers in grades K-5 sign up to read aloud to a dog for 20 minutes (handler present). Parents must sign a waiver prior to the reading session. Registration is required and begins March 9. Contact Youth Services to register.
