Kids Reading to Canines
Next Reading Date: Saturday, February 18, 2012 - 10:00am

The Kids Reading to Canines program allows beginning readers to practice reading out loud to a kid’s best friend, a dog. During the Kids Reading to Canines program, children in first through fourth grade can share their favorite stories with a therapy dog. While a child is reading to the dog, the owner will be present; parents are asked to step away so that the child can experience the confidence boosting company of the therapy dog.

Registration for reading times begins now and is on a first come first serve basis. The program will take place on the third Saturday of every month beginning in October 2011- May 2012. Advanced registration is required. The Kaukauna Public Library is in partnership with the Fox Valley Humane Association for this program.

Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption
by Laura Hillenbrand

The lieutenant’s name was Louis Zamperini.  In boyhood, he’d been a cunning and incorrigible delinquent, breaking into houses, brawling, and fleeing his home to ride the rails.  As a teenager, he had channeled his defiance into running, discovering a prodigious talent that had carried him to the Berlin Olympics and within sight of the four-minute mile.  But when war had come, the athlete had become an airman, embarking on a journey that led to his doomed flight, a tiny raft, and a drift into the unknown.

The Kaukauna Public Library Daytime Book Group meets on the 3rd Tuesday of the month at 10 AM. New Members are always welcome!
