Two dogs in a library. Missy, a black and brown dog, sits on a blanket. Gershwin, a yellow dog wearing a vest, lies beside an open children's book.

Build reading confidence and improve reading skills by reading to a dog!

Gershwin and Missy and their trainers will listen with compassion and without judgment as you read.

Sign up for a 20 minute session.

You can bring your own book or choose one from the library shelf.

Each time you read to Missy or Gershwin, you will get a free book from the Friends of the Library book sale shelf. After 5 visits, you get to choose a NEW book from our Read to the Dogs book box.

This program is for kids who read by looking at the pictures to tell a story (PreK) and kids who are reading words on the page.
