Paws 4 Love is an organization with a mission to encourage literacy among kids through pet therapy.
Every second Sunday of each month, children are invited to the Paws 2 Read event at the Spanish Springs library on Pyramid Way. Therapy dogs are brought to the library from 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Kids are able to read to the therapy dogs while petting them, which helps them become more confident in their reading skills.
Below is the schedule for Paws 2 Read reading events that are held every month:
Second Thursday
- Incline Library 4 p.m. - 5 p.m.
Second Saturday
