Events › Read to a Dog

Read to a Dog is designed to allow young learners the chance to read to a non-judgmental listener, one who will accept the story exactly as it's read. For many children this allows them a rare chance to experience stress-free reading: they are able to relax and have fun while sharing a book.

Come read to Danny, a two-year-old, 160-pound, smooth-coated Saint Bernard. Danny is a fan of people of all ages and sizes. And he is a good listener.

How does Read to a Dog work?

Kids come to library during Read to a Dog and select a book to read to a furry friend. All of the dogs and handlers who participate have been certified as therapy dogs by an accredited organization.
