2023/01/25 @ 4:30 PM - 5:30 PM

Practise your reading skills by signing up for an appointment to read with a certified St. John Ambulance therapy dog! Research shows that reading to a dog is tremendously motivational for kids and provides a calming, relaxed environment for children who may feel hesitant or anxious about reading.
Paws 4 Stories runs on Wednesdays, January 11th, 18th, 25th – 4:30-5:30 pm in the Children’s Area. Sessions are 20 minutes. Please note: There will be no session on Wednesday January 4th.
