Virtual Reading Pals

Our friends from Pet Therapy of the Ozarks need your help — they love a good story but can’t read. Using Zoom, a platform that allows readers to see their furry friends on a screen, kids can practice their reading skills with these lovable listeners in a virtual setting. Sponsored by the Republic and Schweitzer Brentwood branch libraries. Registration must be made by a parent or guardian by emailing teenlibrarian@thelibrary. org and providing their library card number. A link and password to access the virtual event and a statement of consent will be shared with registered participants.
