March into Reading with Paws & Pages: Storytime with Cats! 🐾📚

The Companion Animal Coalition and The Crate Escape are thrilled to partner with the Erie County Public Library - Iroquois Branch to bring you this fun and heartwarming event!

March is Literacy Month, and we’re celebrating with an event that encourages children to read while spending time with cats! 🐱✨

Did you know that reading to pets can:
📖 Boost kids’ confidence and reading fluency in a nonjudgmental environment?
🐾 Create a calming atmosphere that helps kids relax and enjoy books?
📚 Build empathy and compassion through connections with animals?

🐾 What to Expect:
✨ Read to cats and kittens in a cozy, quiet space.
✨ Join live story circles every hour featuring cat/pet-themed children’s books.
✨ Enjoy a craft corner with personalized bookmarks and cat-themed crafts.

📣 Let’s inspire a love of reading with friendly cats! Tag your friends and family and join us for a pawsome day filled with stories and whiskers! 🐾💖
