Event Details

If you have a young, reluctant or struggling reader, we want you to meet our therapy dogs!  They are non-judgmental listeners and furry friends to read to that won’t laugh if your child makes a mistake or stumbles over a word. 

Children learn to associate reading with being with the dog, and begin to view reading in a positive way. Over time, the child’s reading ability and confidence can improve because they are practicing their skills. 

Children will each get approximately 15 minutes of reading time with Bubble & Magnolia.

Clark residents with library cards have priority registration.  All others will be on the pending waitlist until 48 hours before the event if space remains.
