Paws to Read is a program at which young i ndependent readers can practice their skills by reading to friendly traine d dogs at the library. \; The dogs provide a calming presence and a no njudgmental listening ear for kids who are hoping to gain more confidence in reading aloud.
\nPlease note that this program will be held indoo rs. While children ages 0-5 are now eligible for vaccines\, the library is continuing to offer outdoor programming and is slowly phasing in indoor p rogramming for all ages. Until it is determined to be safe for both staff and patrons\, we will not offer maximum occupancy to indoor events. Indoor programming in meeting rooms will be phased in starting with 30% of maxim um room occupancy for programs for children. Please arrive early to indoor programs as space is limited. Masks may be required at some indoor progra ms for all participants.
\nPLEASE NOTE: This program is primarily fo r children ages 6-12\, but younger independent readers may also participat e. \; Children MUST be able to read on their own in order to sign up.& nbsp\; No reading instruction will be provided.
