In Loving Memory 

Maggie Marie

Maggie Marie was a beloved SitStayRead Certified Reading Assistance Dog who served from 2015 to 2021. For six years, she brought warmth, calm, and encouragement to young readers across Chicago. She is remembered with love by the Folk family, and her gentle presence will never be forgotten by those whose love of reading she helped inspire.
