Read with Paws

Program Description

Event Details

Children can come to the library, select a book and read to a furry friend.  All therapy dogs and handlers have been certified by an accredited organization.  This program was designed originally because children feel less pressure to read to a dog than an adult so, it was meant to be a way to help struggling readers or even just encourage reading.  It is open to all levels of readers and non-readers.
