REGISTRATION REQUIRED. PLEASE REGISTER ONLY CHILDREN WHO WILL BE READING. Parents and nonreaders do not need to register.
This program is intended for children who can read independently or with minimal help. Children not yet reading are invited to enjoy books in the library with their caregivers.
Read to the Dogs at Central Library encourages children ages 4-12 to practice their reading skills by reading to specially trained therapy dogs. This activity is provided through a partnership with Pets with a Mission. Registration is required and opens two weeks before the program.
To ensure an enjoyable experience for the children and the dogs, the following rules will be observed:
Upon arrival, children will sign in at the Children’s Desk to get in line for the program.
Children may choose to read a book from the library or bring a book from home.
Children will be allowed to sit with a dog for 5-10 minutes and read as many books to the dog as possible before their turn is over. If time permits, children may wait in line again for another turn to read to a dog. Children waiting for their first turn to read will be moved to the front of the line.
Read with the Dogs is intended to be a one-on-one reading experience between the child and the dog. Parents and siblings of readers are asked to sit quietly in the designated area or wait outside the room.
*This program will be held in Central Children's Storytime Room
