Reading with Rooster

Does your child need a confidence boost with reading? This 15-minute session pairs young readers in grades K–5 with Rooster, a certified therapy dog, in a relaxed and encouraging environment. The calm presence of a therapy animal can help children feel more comfortable sharing their reading skills without pressure or judgment. Registration is required and spots fill on a first-come, first-served basis, so sign up early. If your child has any physical or communication needs, the library staff is happy to discuss accommodations—just reach out to them directly. This is a wonderful way to make reading feel less like work and more like quality time with a four-legged friend.
