Join us for stories, songs, and play, in a supportive environment designed for children who may not be successful in a typical storytime experience.

Paws to Read

Children's Department

Children are invited to practice their reading skills with friendly puppy pals!  Join us one Saturday a month in the Children’s Department for Paws to Read!

Trained therapy dogs make an ideal audience for beginning, struggling and reluctant readers. The dogs are non-judgmental listeners, which allows kids to practice in a no pressure situation, that can also help to build a positive attitude toward reading.
