Come read to Desi! What could be better than reading to a friendly dog curled up in your lap? Desi will be here on Wednesday, Aug. 12 from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., eager to listen to kids while they read. Desi may be a tiny dog, but he’s a big listener. He is a hypoallergenic Miniature Poodle, and he is also a part of the “Helping and Healing Paws" organization. Families can sign up for a 15-minute slot to read to Desi. Call 763-295-2322 to reserve your time. For all ages.
