Paws 4 Stories is a St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog Community Service that is designed to assist in helping to improve reading skills of children.

In this program, children have the opportunity to read to a friendly, certified therapy dog. Reading to a therapy dog can be motivating and especially beneficial for children who are hesitant or anxious about reading. 

Ages 6 - 12. Sessions are 20 minutes in length -  children can sign up for a maximum of 2 sessions each.

Registration required. Call Parkgate Library to register: 604-929-3727, ext. 8166. Registration is first-come, first-served, though priority will be given to those who have not participated before.
