Barks and Books is a reader dog program for readers age 6 and up, held on the 4th Thursday of the month, at 3:30 p.m. Each child will have 15 minutes to read aloud to the dogs from a book of their choice (bring your own or use one of ours). The dogs are trained, volunteer therapy dogs from the Kennebec Chapter of Love on a Leash who love being read to.
There are a limited number of slots per program, so we encourage you to sign up ahead of time. To pre-register please contact Youth Services.
