    Description: We welcome back Rodney, a registered Bright and Beautiful therapy dog. Children who are able to read at least a little bit and would like to be able to practice their reading skills in a very relaxed atmosphere are invited to sign up for a 15 minute time slot with Rodney. They will gain confidence in their reading ability and make a new friend at the same time. Registration is required. Priority is given to Rutherford residents. Call (201) 939-8600 or email Mrs. Tarantino at <a href="mailto:Jane.Tarantino@Rutherford.BCCLS.org" target="_blank">Jane.Tarantino@Rutherford.BCCLS.org</a>
