COEUR d’ALENE — Spring reading programs for children, "Alphabet Antics," begin this month with some exciting additions to activities in the Seagraves Children’s Library.

Tuesdays from 4-6 p.m., Paws to Read returns to the library to give children the opportunity to read with a trained therapy dog, Mater the basset hound. Reluctant readers are often more comfortable reading to an animal rather than interacting with another person.

Sensory Storytime for preschoolers, ages 3-6, will be offered Fridays at 10:30 a.m. This program is designed for children with developmental disabilities or sensory processing disorders and accompanied by a caregiver. Presented by Erin Roan, a pediatric occupational therapist, this activity is made possible by a grant from the Coeur d’Alene Public Library Foundation.

National Library Week is April 8-14. Along with a week of puppet shows and crafts during regular programs, the week culminates with the return of a longtime favorite activity in the Community Room on Saturday, April 14 at 1 p.m. The American Girl Festival will feature music, crafts, dancing and more and will be followed by a free screening of an “American Girl” movie.

A Saturdays with the Symphony concert for the whole family will be offered in the Community Room on Saturday, April 28, sponsored by the Friends of the Library and the Coeur d’Alene Symphony.

After the classical music concert, kids are invited to meet the musicians and learn what it is like to play a musical instrument.
