About the event

Relax and read with a dog and other animals! This program brings dogs and reluctant readers together for 15 minutes of companionship. Handlers and their dogs provide quiet encouragement to children so that they might develop a love of reading and improve communication skills.

Please note that you may book one session per day, and sessions are 15 minutes long. Available time slots are as follows: 10: 00a.m, 10: 20a.m, and 10:40a.m.

Registration is required. Please call Molly at 919-560-0234 or email mschaefer@dconc.gov with your preferred time and your contact information.
