REGISTRATION REQUIRED: PAWS for Reading. Read to a Dog (for children or young teens. Best for ages 5 and up.)

Note: You'll receive a confirmation email from LibCal and also a reminder a day or two before the program. If you change your plans, you will need to cancel your registration using the link in your confirmation email so another family can sign up. Thanks for your consideration.

We are usually in the children's room.

Reading to a therapy dog can help children increase their reading confidence! Each session, we will have a specially-trained therapy dog from PAWS for People. 

Each child will have up to 10 minutes to read. Families will sign in and kids will read in the order they arrive.
