Tales for Tails: Meet the Dogs, RROB-Style!

Come meet the friendly dogs and handlers who help kids build reading confidence during Tales for Tails. After a short interview-style program, enjoy time visiting and petting the dogs around the room. We’ll have poetry books on hand (inspired by our Richardson Reads One Book pick) to read to the dogs, as well as a DIY dog treat bar so you can take a treat home to your pup! For all ages. Held in the City Council Chamber.
