Program Description
Event Details
Tales & Tails at Southern gives 2nd-5th graders the opportunity to read to a trained therapy dog, building confidence and improving reading skills in a calm, non-judgmental environment.
Each registered reader will be assigned a 15-minute time slot within the event window on a first come-first served registration basis. During their 15 minutes, they'll be able to read one-on-one with the therapy dog.
Siblings are allowed to share a session, up to two children. Feel free to bring a book from home that the child is working on or we will have lots of books at the library for you to choose from!
To maintain a safe space for both the reader and the therapy dog, we are only accepting readers currently in 2nd-5th grade at this time.

Information About Age Ranges
While the library's family programs are open to all ages, other programs in youth services are designed for a specific age or grade range. Establishing age and grade ranges allows us to plan programs that are appropriate for each range of child development, maintain quality in our programming, and promote fairness to all.
