Dogs Enjoy Afternoon Reading!
Good luck to students beginning their new school year!
About Us
Dogs Enjoy Afternoon Reading (DEAR) is a free program for young and tentative readers.
Each child reads at their own pace to one or more of our therapy dogs. Parents, guardians, and siblings are welcome to read to novice readers.
No registration is necessary. Just check in with the library staff member at the event to get on the list. We will have a selection of books on hand to read or you can bring your own.
Each dog is accompanied by a handler to form a therapy team. Our handlers are with the dogs at all times to ensure a safe and calm environment for everyone. All of our teams undergo a background-check and are tested, registered, and insured through a nationally recognized program.
Join us at the Longmont Public Library from 2:00PM-3:00PM on the second Sunday of every month!Â
