Two children with dog laying down

Read to a Dog

The Reading Education Assistance Dogs (R.E.A.D.) literacy program uses therapy animals to improve children's reading and communication skills. Join the R.E.A.D. team at the Waldo Branch on the second Saturday of the month between February 2024 and November 2024 (excluding August) as children read the pooches some prose.

Children may sign up in the library or via phone (816.701.3486) for a 10-minute slot each Saturday. Parents must sign a release form before children will be allowed to read with a dog.


If you need ADA accommodation to use Library services or attend Library events and programs, please notify us at least 3 business days in advance at 816.701.3409 or ADA@kclibrary.org. (TTY access available via 711 or 866.520.7309 for Spanish.)
