Today. Kids ages 6 to 10 can practice reading skills with a furry friend that won’t interrupt, criticize or correct. Arapahoe Library District and Have Paws Will Travel (a guide-dog puppy club) have teamed up to present “Doggie Tales,” a program that allows children to read to therapy dogs. To register, call 303-LIBRARY (or 303-542-7279) Openings are available between 9:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. at Sheridan Library, 3201 W. Oxford Ave., Centennial. Photo provided by Arapahoe Library District
Rip-roaring fun
Ongoing. Let your voice be heard during National Geographic and Pottery Barn Kids’ “Roar Off!” conservation campaign to save big cats including tigers and leopards. Here’s how it works: Record and submit a 10-second video of a child roaring, alone or in a “pack.” Winners will be featured in a nationally-televised commercial and receive $4,000 in cash. Use a webcam, or upload a video file to by Sept. 30. Sheba R. Wheeler, The Denver Post
