The \u201cPaws To Read\u201d\u00a0Therapy Dog reading program\u00a0at Erie Community Library is a vetted facility<\/a> working closely with Therapy Dogs Boulder County to bring some wonderful dog therapy reading skills\u00a0to children who greatly appreciate the interaction.\u00a0 The Paws To Read Therapy Dog program is a totally volunteer<\/strong> program and operates with team visits\u00a0on the 4th Wednesday of each month from 4:30pm to 5:45pm (by sign-up appointments only).\u00a0 Each of the children read to a dog in 15 minute intervals.<\/span><\/p>\n

Presently, this program has a unique rotating schedule with three active teams doing one regular scheduled visit for a given month and then the next month the schedule rotates with three alternate teams and so on.\u00a0 Alternate teams are are on standby in a pool of teams waiting to fill a vacant position or to be rotated through a regular months visit.<\/span><\/p>\n

All teams are part of a group email list so they can communicate absences and emergency coverage.\u00a0 A monthly schedule is created and sent to all teams and administration\u00a0just before the beginning of each new month.<\/span><\/p>\n
