Doggie Tales introduces children to a four-legged friend. Tails wag as tales are told, and each child practices his or her reading skills with a new friend who loves a good story and won't interrupt or criticize. The Arapahoe Library District teams with Have Paws Will Travel, the Guide Dog Puppy Raising Club of Arapahoe County, to build self-esteem and reading skills in our youth. Ages 6 - 10.
