The Reading Education Assistance Dog program (R.E.A.D.) is available at the Corvallis, Monroe, and Philomath branches of the Corvallis-Benton County Public Library. The mission of the program is to provide beginning readers an opportunity to practice their reading skills in a non-threatening environment. The dogs and their handlers will work with individual children on a one-on-one basis for approximately 15-20 minutes during a session. There is no charge for this program.
