Boise Public Library lists Saturday therapy-dog reading, storytime and zine swap

BOISE CITY — Boise Public Library lists three Saturday, Nov. 7, programs at branch locations, according to event pages on the library's public calendar opened today.

Read to a Therapy Dog is set for 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. at Library! at Collister, 4724 W. State St., in the Catalpa and Sycamore rooms. The library says children practice reading with a certified therapy dog in about 10-minute turns and should arrive early to pick a book, then check in with staff at the Doggy Desk.

At the same hour, Saturday Stories and Play is listed at Library! at Cole & Ustick, 7557 W. Ustick Road, in the Sagebrush Room. The page describes a 30-minute storytime followed by open play for children ages 5 and under and their caregivers, on the first and third Saturdays of each month.

From 12:30 to 1:45 p.m., Make and Swap Zines! is listed in Collister's Sycamore Room. The library says the monthly session provides collage materials and instructions for making, copying and exchanging small handmade booklets, and lists the program for all ages under arts and crafts, family-friendly and teen activities.
