The Huntington and Markle libraries are offering a spring "Paws-to-Read" program.

The program is offered to children between the ages of 6 and 12.

The mission of the program is to improve the literacy skills of children with the assistance of registered canine reading companions. Children will participate in one-on-one sessions, where they will practice reading aloud to trained therapy dogs.

The main library will hold "Paws-to-Read" every Saturday morning, from March 8 to April 26, by appointment only.
The main library is located at 255 W. Park Drive, in Huntington.

The Markle branch will hold Saturday morning sessions on March 8 and March 15, with additional dates to be determined. The sessions are available by appointment only. The Markle branch is located at 197 E. Morse St., in Markle.
