Paws to Read at Irvington
Early readers practice reading aloud to a therapy dog at Irvington Branch.
Paws to Read is a library program that pairs children with calm, trained dogs during one-on-one reading sessions. Kids read aloud to the dogs—a low-pressure way to build confidence and fluency without fear of judgment. Dogs are patient listeners, and many children find that reading to an animal makes the experience less stressful and more fun. It's a gentle, confidence-boosting activity perfect for early readers or shy kids who need encouragement.
