PALMDALE – Palmdale City Library is going to the dogs this Wednesday!
The popular “Books and Barks” program, in which kids are encouraged to read to friendly dogs, will take place at 4 p.m., Wednesday, February 19, at the library, located at 700 East Palmdale Boulevard.
“This is a great program for kids who find reading a challenge,” said Children’s Programming Coordinator Shay Hawken. “The dogs provide a safe audience, which helps the children relax and feel comfortable reading aloud.”
