Read to the Dogs Program
Tucker and his handler Randy are in the library every other Saturday from 11am-1pm.
Sign up for a half hour session to practice your reading AND make a new friend.

This innovative program sponsored by Dove Lewis Emergency Animal Hospital pairs young readers with trained dog-and-handler teams. The program helps children develop their reading skills by offering them a relaxed, non-judgmental environment in which to practice reading aloud. In this program, only the dogs may make corrections... and they never offer to.
Reading aloud to dogs:
Increases enthusiasm for reading
Develops reading skills
Teaches children how to interact with animals
Promotes confidence
Each participant receives a certificate and a photo with Tucker.
Take a peak at some photos of Tucker and his newest friends.
