Two children with dog laying down

Read to a Dog

The R.E.A.D. (Reading Education Assistance Dogs) program will be stopping by the Westport Branch Library, 118 Westport Road, during the Winter season! Kids will meet with a therapy pet and a volunteer through KC Pets for Life, Inc., in 15-minute increments. There will be a selection of dog and cat books that kids can choose from or they can bring their own book. In December, the dogs and volunteers brought books, too! Pre-readers are welcome to sit with their parents as they read to the dogs.

Parents and guardians can come by the front desk to sign up or call the Westport Branch Library at 816.701.3488. Please ask if you are "on the clipboard."
