The R.E.A.D. (Reading Education Assistance Dogs) program at the Philomath Community Library provides a unique and supportive environment for children to practice their reading skills. By reading aloud to trained therapy dogs, children can build confidence, improve fluency, and develop a love for books. This program is a wonderful way to make reading a positive and engaging experience.
