Paws to Read with Go Team Therapy Dogs at Walkersville Branch Library

Frederick County residents are invited to join a heartwarming and educational event, “Paws to Read,” featuring the beloved Go Team Therapy Dogs. This unique program will take place on Thursday, September 10, 2026, from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM at the Walkersville Branch Library. It offers a fantastic opportunity for children and families to enhance their reading skills in a relaxed and friendly environment.

The initiative encourages children to read aloud to therapy dogs, which has been shown to improve reading confidence and foster a love for books. Participants will have the chance to make new furry friends while enjoying the comforting presence of these trained therapy animals. This event is open to elementary school-aged children and welcomes participants of all ages, making it a delightful experience for families looking to bond over shared stories.

Event attendees will gather in the Fireplace Room of the Walkersville Branch Library, creating an inviting atmosphere for reading and learning. The Go Team Therapy Dogs are known for their gentle demeanor and ability to connect with readers, providing a supportive backdrop for those who might feel nervous or shy about reading aloud.
