Thanks for a great summer!

A child reads to a dog during the Tails to Tell program at Mundy Branch
Read to A Therapy Dog

*Currently Unavailable due to COVID-19*

Reading to a therapy dog is a fun and rewarding opportunity for school-age children to read one-on-one to a real, live and gentle dog. Children read aloud, one-on-one, to certified, trained dogs at the library with the dog’s handler present.
