Paws For Reading

At PAWS for Reading, kids read aloud to a St. John Ambulance therapy dog (and her handler) in our 1st Floor Program Room. These dogs are the best and most patient listeners – perfect for helping young readers feel comfortable and confident. 

For Beginner/Reluctant Readers ages 5 and up.

Thank you to St. John Ambulance volunteers (four-legged and their humans) for offering this paw-pular program!
