Mollie's friends are volunteer therapy dogs and fun, cuddly, and non-judgmental listeners who can help strengthen reading skills and build confidence in young readers. Sign-ups begin at 10:00 a.m., and each time slot is 15 minutes. There are a limited number of slots available, and slots will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Experience Value:

  • A "pawsitive" experience that builds excitement about reading
  • A judgment-free reading buddy who helps children feel calm while reading
  • Eagerness to go home and read with your pets
