Read to a Dog program: SIGN UP FOR TIME SLOT

Read to a Dog program: SIGN UP FOR TIME SLOT In-Person

Reading sessions will now be scheduled.  This will help cut back on wait time as well as promote a quieter and calmer environment so the children can focus on their reading and their turn with our furry friends. It's important that we're courteous to each other. 

Read to a Dog is a great way to improve the literacy skills of children.  It encourages children to read by providing a non-judgmental listener in our furry friends.  Independent readers in Grades K-5 will read to a certified therapy dog for ten minutes. The therapy dogs and their owners are members of Bright and Beautiful Therapy Dogs, Inc.

Children can bring a book they'd like to read to a dog or pick one out at the library. Each child will read 5-10 minutes with a dog.The program will take place in the children's quiet reading area. Registration is required.
