Families are invited to participate in the “Read to a Dog” program offered by Lincoln City Libraries and Healing Heart Therapy Dogs, a local therapy dog organization. The program provides an opportunity for children from kindergarten to age 12 to practice their reading by reading to a dog. Therapy teams are partnered with children who read to a dog in 30 to 35-minute sessions once a week for six weeks, from March 3 to April 13.
