Childrens Programs
Every library in the Shasta Public Libraries system holds monthly programs for kids and their families. Burney Library, Anderson Library, and Redding Library take part in an annual summer reading program as well as the annual Week of the Young Child event. We also have weekly and monthly activities at each library branch as well. All activities and programs are FREE to the public, so stop in and participate in the next library program at a location near you!

Prescription Pets - R.E.A.D.
Come read to a dog.
The Reading Education Assistance Dogs (R.E.A.D.) program improves children’s reading and communication skills by employing a powerful method: reading to a dog. But not just any dog. Our R.E.A.D. dogs are registered therapy animals from Prescription Pets who volunteer with their owner/handlers as a team who come to the Redding Library to be reading companions for children.
