PAWS for Reading

Certified therapy dogs and their handlers will be on hand to help new readers, struggling readers and those children who just want to read to the dogs.  Therapy dogs don't judge how well you read, they are just happy to listen--which is great for practicing those reading skills without the judgment of a teacher or parent.  Each child is given a 15 minute time slot. Open to holders of New City or West Nyack Library cards. 

Call to reserve your time slot beginning one week before the event.

Please note: a parental consent form must be signed BEFORE the child will be allowed to read to a therapy dog.
