PAWS to Read

Through the PAWS to Read program, children practice their reading skills by reading to a decidedly non-judgmental audience: certified Therapy Dogs! Participation is free. Many of the children chosen for this program have difficulty reading and have improved their skills through this program.


Open to beginning and independent young readers up to age 12. Advanced registration is suggested as participation is limited by time and dog availability. Parents are required to sign a waiver form.

PAWS to Read at the Hermosa Beach library is every second Saturday.
