Paws-to-Read Mascot Has a Name!


Sarah R. and the newly named Paws Von Barky
Congratulations to Sarah R, for winning our Name That Dog contest!

Our official Paws-to-Read mascot is now called Paws Von Barky. Congratulations to Sarah, and to all of our participants for coming up with such great names. It was tough to choose just one!

And a special thank you to Barston's Child's Play in Arlington for donating the grand prize for this fun contest.

If you know an elementary school student that would like to practice their reading skills with a trained therapy dog, please sign up for Paws to Read at Central Library.
