Local law enforcement officers will be armed with books next week.  The Pierre Police Department and the South Dakota Highway Patrol are partnering with Rawlins Municipal Library for the Read with a Cop program.

The program provides children of all ages with an opportunity to read to a cop and to have a cop read to them. Kids will also have a chance to meet a member of the Highway Patrol’s K9 unit and his dog. The event runs from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 28. No registration is required.
