Paws To R.E.A.D.
As the owner of a sweet loveable therapy dog, I have a special spot in my heart for the great work they do.
Saturdays, 2:00 to 3:30 p.m. at the Main Branch
The Library’s popular PAWS to Read program helps children develop their reading skills and build confidence in a relaxed and non-judgmental environment by having them read to a dog. Our volunteer dog and human teams are certified in pet assisted therapy through R.E.A.D. (Reading Education Assistance Dogs), a program of Intermountain Therapy Animals. Children may bring a book from home or chose a book from the library. PAWS to Read sessions are held Saturdays from 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm at the main library. The program is intended for readers ages 5 and up, and spaces are limited so registration is required. To register, please call 425-430-6825.
