Read to Puptart!
Every Wednesday in March at 4:00 PM
Enka-Candler Library - 1404 Sandhill Rd. - Candler
(828) 250-4758
Puptart is a tail-wagging robot dog who sits and stays, pants when listening, and responds to talking and petting. It will not jump up or run away, plus it’s fur-free, so no sneezes and runny noses coming your way! Every Wednesday afternoon, Puptart will be available for reading practice in the children’s picture book room at the Enka Library. Help establish a joy of reading and develop early literacy skills. Sign up at the front desk, pick a book, and practice reading for up to 15 minutes. For school-age kids.
