Kids can read to therapy dogs April 11 at Derby Public Library




DERBY - Children ages 5-11 can share/read a book from 1-2 p.m. April 11 at Derby Public Library with/to one of our therapy dogs, Ollie and Molly! (Usually only one of the dogs comes at a time as they "take turns/share")
They’re great listeners and enjoy "paw" shakes with everyone.
This is a great opportunity for beginner or reluctant readers - as well as experienced readers - to build confidence, enhance literary skills achieved during the school year, and develop a love of reading.
Children are given a 10-minute time slot to read and may select a book from Ollie’s and Molly's Book Picks or bring their own book to share with them for the program.


The Library is at 313 Elizabeth St.
