PALMDALE – The Palmdale City Library, located at 700 E. Palmdale Blvd., will host the popular “Books and Barks” program, where kids are encouraged to read to friendly dogs, on Tuesday, April 26, from 3:30 to 5 p.m.
This event is a partnership between the Palmdale City Library and the High Desert Obedience Club Pet Pals therapy dogs. “Books and Barks” is designed to encourage children to develop their reading skills.
