Join us for an afternoon of furry fun! From your own home, you can read a favorite story to a therapy dog.
Register for the Zoom link online, in person at the branch, or by calling the Portage Lakes Branch at 330.644.7050. Visit with a therapy dog from the comfort of your own home. "Come" online, "sit" with us to read a book or two, and "stay" for a while to chat! You can read a short book aloud, share your own pet stories, and learn more about our furry friends.
