Read with a Therapy Dog
Read to a dog at the library! Our certified therapy dog Flash Gordon loves to be read to.
Kids can make enormous strides in building self-esteem and confidence while acquiring a love of books by reading to a therapy dog. Utilizing a registered therapy animal and their human teammate in a calm and relaxing atmosphere, this program helps improve children’s reading, communication, and social skills.
The goal of the program is for kids to read in a specific environment. Grown ups, if you're comfortable, we ask that the kids attend the 10 minute session on their own, thank you!
Sign up at the desk for a 10 minute slot on the day of the program. First come, first serve. Space is limited to six children per session.
Ages 5-12.
This program is a partnership with Pet Partners.
