About this event

Join teen volunteers, Anabelle and Priti, to explore different cultures from places all over the globe through art, music, and language. Each program will highlight a different country or culture through interactive stations, presentations, and hands-on activities. This month we'll spotlight Indian culture, as it celebrates a plethora of different traditions, recognizes 22 different languages, and is known for its spectacular cuisine. Our goal is to encourage diversity within our community! Priti Mathur is a junior at New Canaan High School who is passionate about social change and business. Academically, she is seen taking multiple challenging honors and AP classes, and is a high honor roll student. Outside of the classroom, Priti is an active member of her school's choir and theatre programs. She also spreads awareness for local issues, and takes action through her club, Voices for Change. Some hobbies she enjoys in her free time are baking, hanging out with friends, or listening to a song she loves!

Read with Bean the Dog for Grades K-5

New Canaan Library · New Canaan

Join Bean (the dog) and Bean's caretaker Melissa (the human) as kids get a chance to read with them one-on-one for 15 minutes. Kids in grades K-5 are welcome to bring a book or choose one from the Library. Parents are asked to wait in the Children's Room while their child enjoys reading together with Bean. Register one child per slot; please only register for one slot, 4:00, 4:15, 4:30, or 4:45 PM. Slots full? Email Miss Rebecca (rfox@newcanaanlibrary.org) to join the waitlist. Reading to a therapy dog is a proven and effective way to help children improve literacy and communication skills. Reading aloud to a specially trained, calm, and nonjudgmental dog creates a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere where children feel comfortable and uninhibited, leading to increased confidence and reduced stress. These positive effects support stronger reading development and communication abilities. Therapy Dog Brigade’s specially trained and certified therapy dogs, volunteering alongside their owner-handlers, visit schools, libraries, and other community settings to provide a safe and supportive space for young readers, inspiring them to enjoy reading and grow into lifelong learners.
