Tales to Tails goes virtual to create a comfortable, neutral, and fun reading experience. Bring some books, a stuffed animal or your own pet, and come read with us! This is a YouTube livestream event so you might be reading to up to six animals at once. Woo hoo! Readers focus on quiet reading or homework for 12min, take a 5min break where we learn something new, and then focus on another 12min of quiet reading or homework.

Caregivers - You can post your child’s first name and city in the comments section, along with the book they are reading, and we’ll read off as many of those names as we can, live, during the break we need to give the dogs. 

Each week you register we’ll send you a doggie bone activity. These will be dated dog bones your child can color and email to us. You can even email it to tales2tails@santacruzpl.org and we’ll display them live on the feed.

Find us every week at https://www.youtube.com/user/SantaCruzPL (you may need to click on videos >> live)

This will also be recorded so if you can’t make it live, the dogs will still be there for you. Tales to Tails YouTube playlist
