Our furry friends from the 5 Paws Therapy Group will be taking a break. We will update our events page when they return. Any questions? Give us a call at the Library—828-884-3151.
On the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month from 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm, children can drop in to the Youth Services area and read aloud to a furry pal!
Benefits of reading with a dog:
- Non-judgmental audience
- Relaxing, low pressure setting
- Positive experience with reading
- Builds confidence & reading skills
The Library uses volunteers and therapy dogs from Wild Dog Training 5 Paws Therapy Group. All dogs are registered through the Alliance of Therapy Dogs.
