The Plainfield Public Library is proud to offer Read to a Dog, a welcoming and confidence-building literacy program for children of all ages and abilities.

Children are invited to spend time with a certified therapy dog in a relaxed, supportive environment. Reading to animals can help reduce anxiety, improve confidence, and make reading feel fun and safe.

Participants do not need to read perfectly — and they do not even need to read traditionally. Children are welcome to:

  • Read aloud from a favorite book
  • Describe pictures
  • Tell a story
  • Practice early literacy skills
  • Simply spend time talking

All reading levels are welcome.

📅 Date: First Wednesday of every month
⏰ Time: 3:30-4:30pm
📍 Location: Plainfield Public Library

We believe stories grow here — and sometimes, they grow best with a furry friend listening.
