Library Dogs-Read to a Service Dog
Selected Mondays, 7:00-7:45 pm
Jan 18, Feb 15, March 15, and April 17
This program is designed to allow kids the chance to read to a non-judgmental listener-a dog!. Children find themselves relaxing and having fun while reading! They come to think of themselves as good readers, which helps their self esteem and makes them eager to read. And eager readers practice their reading more often, leading to improved reading skills.
For Better Independence (FBI) Assistance Dogs is dedicated to bringing dogs to those in need. The FBI training staff has over 30 years experience working with these very special dogs.
