Therapy Dogs International's "Tail Wagging" program encourages children to read by providing a non-judgmental listener and furry friend to read to. Once a month your child can have the opportunity to read to a Therapy Dog at the library. Each session will start out with a group reading conducted by the program's coordinator, after which each child may sign up for a one-on-one reading session with the Therapy Dog and his handler. Therapy dogs can be a great way to discover how much fun your local library can be!
