Paws to Read
A supportive reading program where children practice reading aloud to friendly therapy dogs.
Paws to Read is a heartwarming program at the Cottonwood Public Library that encourages children to practice their reading skills in a relaxed, non-judgmental environment. By reading aloud to trained therapy dogs, children build confidence, improve fluency, and develop a positive association with books. This unique initiative is perfect for young readers looking to gain comfort and skill. Join us for an afternoon of reading, companionship, and fun at the library.
