    Paws to Read is a program where people read aloud to trained therapy dogs, which helps improve their reading skills, confidence, and attitudes toward reading. This program provides a non-judgmental and stress-free environment, as the dogs are calm, attentive listeners who don't correct mistakes, making it less intimidating for children. Bring your own book or use one of ours! Teens and adults can come for the calming influence and doggie kisses. Register online for your preferred timeslot: 10:00 a.m.; 10:20 a.m.; 10:50 a.m.; 11:10 a.m.
