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

Frederick County residents are invited to join a heartwarming event designed to boost reading confidence and foster a love for literacy. On Thursday, October 8, 2026, from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM, the Walkersville Branch Library will host “Paws to Read,” featuring the beloved Go Team Therapy Dogs. This engaging program is perfect for young readers and families alike, providing an opportunity to read aloud to friendly therapy dogs in a supportive environment.

The Go Team Therapy Dogs are specially trained to create a calming atmosphere, allowing children to practice their reading skills without the pressure often associated with traditional reading sessions. By reading to a dog, participants can improve their confidence and fluency while making a new furry friend. This event is not only an educational experience but also a delightful way for children and families to bond over the joys of reading.

This event is open to all ages, but particularly geared towards elementary school children. It will take place in the Fireplace Room of the Walkersville Branch Library, making it a cozy setting for this unique reading experience. Parents are encouraged to bring their children to this enriching event, which is sure to be both fun and beneficial for developing literacy skills.
