The Read to Aspen program at the Madrid Public Library offers a unique and encouraging way for children to improve their reading skills. By reading aloud to Aspen, a friendly therapy dog, children can build confidence, fluency, and a love for books in a relaxed, non-judgmental environment. This program is a community favorite, fostering literacy and providing a positive experience for young readers. We invite all families to join us for this special event.
