Everyone loves to hear a good story, even our furry, four-legged companions. On the first Wednesday of the month, readers of all ages and skill levels can read to a dog at the Carpinteria Community Library. Come by between 3:30 and 4:30 p.m. on Dec. 6 for an opportunity to be paired with a pooch for a fun reading session. Learn more by calling the library at (805) 684-4314 or drop by at 5141 Carpinteria Ave.
