Paws to Read @ the Library!
 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of each month

4:00pm to 5:00pm
Paws to Read @ the Library!
Do you love dogs?  Cats?  Ferrets or donkeys?  We do!  Guess what else we like here at the Chattanooga Public Library!  Reading, that's right!  And it's not only us.  All the animals at McKamey Animal Shelter love reading too.  Come join us at 4pm at the downtown library every first and third Tuesday to read to a shelter animal!  Make a new friend, improve your reading skills while improving the lives of each and every animal that would love to see you.
