Paws to Read set for April 3

Mentor Public Library has a program that encourages young readers by letting them borrow a furry friend to read with.

Paws to Read pairs children with trained therapy dogs. The library notes in a news release that the pups make an ideal audience—supportive, adorable and happy to listen to the reader—and all they ask for in return is the occasional belly rub.

Paws to Read is open to any kids who can read independently, and the library is hosting sessions at 6 and 6:30 p.m. on April 3, at its Headlands Branch, 4669 Corduroy Road. Each child gets 30 minutes to read with their therapy dog.

Registration is required as the library only has so many therapy dogs volunteering; so there’s a limit on how many kids can participate. Call the library to register at 440257-2000.
