Meet the “Read with Me” Therapy Dogs
Bring your little ones to the library for a unique opportunity to enhance their love for reading while making furry, four-legged friends! Our library is excited to host registered therapy dogs, specially trained to be attentive companions for children.
What to Expect:
🐶 Meet the “Read with Me” Dogs: Get up close and personal with our gentle, certified therapy dogs.
📚 Meet the Authors: We’ll have three esteemed authors present: Dan and Barbara Arnsan, co-authors of Sarge’s Shenanigans, and Mary S. Lombardo, author of Rocket and the Donut Man.” Meet these creative minds, ask questions, and get your books signed!
🎨 Paw-some Activities: Create cute valentines with pictures of the therapy dogs.
Why “Read with Me” Dogs?
Research shows that positive interactions with animals can boost children’s confidence, create a love for reading, and enhance creativity. Our Read with Me Dogs event aims to provide a unique and supportive environment for kids to express their creativity while enjoying the company of our therapy dogs.
Admission is Free!
Don’t miss out on this delightful experience for your little ones. Bring the whole family, meet the authors, and discover the joy of connecting with dogs and books.
Please Note: All dogs are registered therapy animals, and their handlers will be present to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.
