Read to a Listening Dog at Main Library

Reluctant readers or kids first learning to read are encouraged to pay a visit to our listening dog. Call the library to reserve your 15-minute time slot on the available Tuesdays at the Main Library.

Reading to a licensed therapy dog allows children to develop their skills by reading aloud in a therapeutic, no-pressure environment. He is great with kids and very gentle, and he loves to listen!
