Waggin Tales @ Scott County Library
Some library branches in this system offer an opportunity for kids to read to therapy dogs. Similar to the Rescue Readers at the Humane Society of Minnesota, this program is a great way for kids to practice reading to a good listener. This program is free. Book a time by calling the hosting library branch.

A mix of videos and books and games for preschool to elementary age, Bookflix is one of my favorite online resources accessible with a library card. Scott County patrons have access to this resource.
