Children can Read to a Dog at the Boonton Holmes Public Library on Jan. 11 from 4 to 5 p.m.

Participants can sign up for a 15-minute time slot to read to a registered therapy dog.

There will be eight slots per session, and sessions will run on the second Wednesday of every month. Registration opens up a week before each date.

This program is free and open to the public and is recommended for all children who are capable of reading alone or with assistance. Register at https://tinyurl.com/bhpldogreading.
