The library invites young readers to improve their reading skills by reading to a licensed therapy dog. This fun opportunity will help build fluency and confidence. Sign up for a half hour appointment to start your Paws journey. Caregivers are required to stay in the room during the appointment.
Arrive five minutes before session time. If for any reason arrival is after 10 minutes from session time, your appointment will be cancelled.
