Barks and Books!

Read to a Dog Ages 5+

Is your little one nervous about reading aloud? Are they a dog lover, but a reluctant reader? Reading to a therapy dog may be just the thing to kick start their reading.

How it works

Kids ages 5+ can register for a time slot to read to a dog (see registration details below). The child can choose a book from the children's room (or bring one from home). Then they will get cozy in the community room to read to the registered therapy dog. This March we will be joined by the lovely Aspen and Fezzik who are pictured in the banner at the top of the page. Each child will have 15 minutes to read with the dog. Then it will be the next child's turn.
