Program Description
Event Details
The Horizons4Girls therapy dog, "Faith," will be available for children to read to her at Mead Public Library. Faith is a "Teddy Bear" dog, a Shih Tzu/Bichon Frise mix. Children of all ages may drop in and meet Faith and read her a story. Faith will be at the library on Mondays, Feb. 8, March 14, April 11 and May 9, from 6 to 7 p.m. in the Story Garden.
Sometimes children who are self-conscious when reading in front of classmates can relax when they read to a dog, and they associate reading with something fun and pleasant. Many children just enjoy the opportunity to be with a dog and read a story.
