Join the West Cobb staff for READing Paws, a children’s program geared to encourage literacy, every second Saturday of the month throughout the fall season starting in September. Children participating read to a trained ‘reading’ dog, while each 15-minute session is monitored by a dog handler. Sessions can be scheduled from 10-11 a.m. Registration is required. Call 770-528-4699 for information.
