Bark for Books

Join Dog-Harmony and the Walton County Coastal Library for Bark for Books—a tail-waggingly fun way for kids to build confidence by reading aloud to a friendly therapy dog!

Held every Wednesday from 3:30–4:30 PM, January 14 through May 20, this unique literacy program gives children the chance to practice their reading skills in a calm, pressure-free environment—paired with one of our trained therapy dogs.

Reading to a nonjudgmental, furry friend helps children improve fluency, build self-esteem, and develop a lifelong love of reading.

This program is made possible through the generous support of the St. Joe Community Foundation.

📍 Location: Walton County Coastal Library
📆 Wednesdays, January 14 – May 20, 2026
⏰ 3:30–4:30 PM

Please call the library directly (850-267-2809) to sign up for this complimentary program to encourage child literacy with the help of our amazing volunteer therapy dog teams.
