Read to a Therapy Dog!
On October 13, the Madison Public Library, part of the Huntsville-Madison County Public Library System, hosted its first Kids Read to a Therapy Dog program. In partnership with Therapy Partners, Inc., we invited a few four-legged friends to lend an ear to participating children as they read their favorite books aloud. This program is part of the Partners Achieving Literacy (PAL) initiative, which seeks to create opportunities for children to practice reading aloud to an affectionate, nonjudgmental audience—a therapy dog.
