Therapy dogs (and their handlers) are non-judgmental reading partners and they love hearing stories from readers of all abilities and levels! Register for a time to practice reading with a pup!

After you register, a DCDL staff person will email you when to arrive for your turn and provide more details. So make sure that email address is the best one!

We will do our best to ensure each reader gets about 15 minutes to practice with the dogs.

About the branch

The 35,000 square foot Delaware Main Library is the oldest branch of our library system, which serves the public as well as houses a majority of our administrative offices. Located around the corner from downtown Delaware, it serves as our central branch for those on foot as well as those in a rush. 


The Main Library also hosts the Delaware County Genealogical Society. Genealogical Society volunteers are in the Library to assist researchers on limited dates and by appointment. 

 

DCDL welcomes all people to our programs and events. If you require ASL interpretation or other reasonable accommodations, please contact us at pr@delawarelibrary.org.
