Tails & Tales | Read to Therapy Dogs

Van Belkum Branch – 1563 Plainfield NE
Literacy is a fundamental skill that takes practice. In this program, kids are invited to practice reading to a licensed therapy dog from West Michigan Therapy Dogs Ruff Readers!
Attendees will be able to read to a therapy dog for 10–15 minutes. While kids wait for their chance to read, the library will provide a small craft or activity. Reading spots with dogs are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Designed for ages 6–13.
