Youth Program

Kids Reading to Canines
a Program Partnership of
The Neenah Public Library & The Fox Valley Humane Association

Families who wish to sign up will register their child for a specific time to read to the dogs. We need to know the child’s name, address, phone number and grade in school. Please note: parents and siblings are asked to wait outside the room in the library. This program is designed for a one-on-one experience between child and canine (with handler).

Molly Johnson, Therapy Dog Community Enrichment Program Coordinator, Fox Valley Humane Association, stresses that “these certified therapy dogs and their handlers are carefully screened to provide a safe, fun experience for the children involved in the program. The dogs are all certified therapy dogs through Therapy Dogs International and must meet stringent temperament and health requirements. They have demonstrated exceptional manners and friendliness and are gently responsive to people of all ages.”
