Rocklin, Calif. – The Doggone Good Reading Group meets the second Tuesday of every month from 3:30 to 4:30 at the Rocklin Library, 4890 Granite Dr. Children of all ages are invited to polish their reading skills while reading to the delightful dogs from the Lend A Heart Animal-Assisted Therapy Group.
Children are often less hesitant to read out loud to a dog than to their peers; all of our dogs are very friendly, patient and understanding listeners.
