Learning to read can be a challenge for many Idaho youth. One of the most critical hurdles for young readers to cross is the fear of reading aloud.

The event featured two furry friends from The Alliance of Therapy Dogs. The library says the event is an excellent opportunity to boost self-confidence for young readers in a laid-back setting.
