Inspiring Young Minds: 'Paws for Reading' Arrives at Killeen Public Library

This special program gives children the opportunity to read aloud in a calming and welcoming environment. With therapy dogs there to listen, children can feel more relaxed and comfortable while practicing their reading skills. The goal is to help young readers build confidence, improve their reading abilities, and, most importantly, develop a lifelong love for reading.
