Read to a dog -- therapy dogs love to listen to stories! Our friend, Maire will be waiting for you at the library. It will make them so happy to hear you read books! Bring your own book or take one from our shelves and spend some time with Maire. Reading aloud to certified therapy dogs is an excellent way for emerging readers to practice their skills (and lots of fun, too!)
