A girl reads a book to an adult woman and a large black-and-white dog lying on a blanket in a cozy room with bookshelves and plants.

Come meet some Certified Reading Assistance Dog Teams and learn about volunteering with SitStayRead during the 2026-27 school year. We especially need Book Buddies and Dog Teams who have at least conversational Spanish.  Sit Stay Read primarily serves schools and libraries on the South and West sides of Chicago during the school day, but has weekend and evening opportunities as well.

 

Thank you to Smack Dab Chicago for hosting and providing donuts and beverages!
