Kids Read to Dogs at Local Libraries

Help your child develop a love for reading by taking part in this free program offered year-round for children in grades 1-5. Young readers are paired with a therapy dog as a calming and non-judgmental partner, a method that has been proven to boost confidence and strengthen skills.
