Ostrander Programming Room

Come cozy up with a therapy dog and practice your reading!

Therapy dogs (and their handlers) are non-judgmental reading partners and they love hearing stories from readers of all abilities and confidence levels!

Readers can bring their favorite story, assigned reading from school, or grab a book off our shelf to enjoy with the pooch!

Registration is required. If full, please add the reader's name to the waitlist. 

Registered readers will get to enjoy a minimum of 15 minutes of reading with the dog.

Readers may have to wait for their turn, but don't worry we have plenty of great books to browse while they wait!

About the branch

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.
