Tutors with Tails Schedule:

We'll be back in the Fall!

Tutors with Tails is a new library reading program for children ages 6 – 10. The first, second and third grade years are critical in the development of good readers. Many children struggle to achieve the reading fluency that makes reading both a pleasure and an effective tool for lifelong learning.

To support them as they master the art of reading, children come to the library once
a month to read to trained therapy dogs and enjoy the reading experience in a relaxed and friendly environment. As they read to their canine partners, the children gain reading confidence and improve their reading skills. They also develop positive associations for the library and for animals. 
Most importantly, the program is great fun
for both readers and dogs.

The dogs participating in the program are all registered members of Therapy Dogs International and are accompanied by their owners/trainers.
