Events › Read to a Dog

Read to a Dog gives kids the chance to read to a non-judgmental listener, one who will accept the story exactly as they read it. For many children, this allows them a rare chance to experience stress free reading.

Being able to relax and have fun reading increases motivation to read, which is an essential element in becoming a successful reader.

Come to Sahuarita Library and read to Molly and Grace.

Molly is are eagerly waiting to meet you and see the world through the books you choose.

She is a very good listener.
