Events › R.E.A.D. to a Pet with Pets for Life

Teams of animals and their human companions volunteer to improve children’s reading and communication skills. Kids can read aloud to a registered therapy dog or cat — a powerful (and adorable) method to learn.

Get a ticket when you arrive and wait your turn to read to one of several animals.

For inquiries about accessibility and accommodations, please contact us at ask@jocolibrary.org or 913-826-4600 at least two weeks before the event.
