Upcoming Events for School-Aged Kids
Children can practice their reading skills with trained therapy pets between sessions of the Summertime Series. Studies have shown that children who read to animals, who are non-judgmental and cuddly listeners, improve their reading skills and confidence!
Join us on Wednesdays during the Summer Reading Program for special programs and performances fit for families with children ages 0-11. Each week we will have different guests share their knowledge in a fun and engaging way! We will have two different programs times: 9:30am and 11:00am. You can choose whichever time works best for your family!
Summertime Series:
