Join Captain, a 6 year old tan and white rough-coated Jack Russell Terrier and his human friend Anne Harris, for a relaxed hour of stories. Captain enjoys being part of the "Reading to Rover" program at the library and loves it when children read to him and the children have a good time as well. He is certified as a therapy dog and besides visiting the library he goes to convalescent and care facilities. Captain always seems to know who is in the most need of a visit from a friendly, gentle, and quiet little dog.

A new friend is anxiously waiting to visit the Atascadero Library so he can hear children read to him.
