Schertz Public Library - Paws to Read

The Schertz Public Library promotes the love of reading and the joy of discovery for persons of all ages, provides information and learning resources in a variety of formats for both education and leisure, and supports our customers in their life-long learning pursuits.

Children can practice their reading skills by reading a book to a trained therapy animal in a quiet, relaxed setting. Reading aloud helps children become better readers by improving fluency and comprehension, among other important skills. We have one therapy animal team, and each child will sign up for a 10-minute reading time. Our furry volunteer is a great listener! Register in advance. 10-minute time slots are limited.
