The Varnum Memorial Library is participating in the Read With Me program. This literacy program is dedicated to improving the reading skills of children using registered therapy dogs as literacy mentors. The handler and her dog will work with individual readers on a one-on-one basis for approximately fifteen minutes. The therapy animal and their handler have been insured for liability and have undergone reading education training in addition to their extensive training and registration to do animal-assisted therapy. There is no charge for this program but we do REQUIRE advanced registration. Please call the library to reserve your spot.
