About This Event

Children aged 6 to 12 can practice reading aloud to a therapy dog at the Burlington Central Branch. Participants can also engage in literacy activities while waiting for their turn.

Reading aloud to a trained pet therapy dog helps children develop literacy skills and confidence in a relaxed setting.

  • Children between the ages of 6 and 12 can spend roughly 10 minutes reading to a dog and its handler.
  • While waiting for a turn, kids can engage with literacy activities in the program room.
  • This program is held in partnership with St. John Ambulance.
  • For accessibility accommodations, contact Burlington Public Library at [email protected] or 905.639.3611 ext. 1211 a few days before attending.
