Literacy

Are you interested in becoming a US citizen and want more information?  Join us on July 20th on Zoom for our Citizenship Information session:

Sign-ups for reading sessions begin June 1.

Read to a Dog is a great way for children to practice oral fluency, spend time with a friendly dog, and have fun. The goal is to help build a child's self-esteem and confidence, as well as foster a fondness for reading. Children ages 5 to 12 can sign up for a twenty minute session where they will read aloud to a gentle dog provided by the Alliance of Therapy Dogs, a nonprofit all-volunteer organization. Read to a Dog will be held in North Branch's Community Meeting Room.
