Summer reading helps children retain what they learned during the school year. 

That’s according to director of Shelbyville Public Library Monica Cameron. She says there’s a chance for kids to read to a therapy dog named Bernice. 

Cameron says that the popular books for kids change every year. 

She also says Bernice is extremely beneficial for children to read to. 

Registration for the Summer Reading program opens soon.
