Monday evening, children came to the Lowe Public Library in Shinnston to read aloud to therapy dogs.
The dogs were from Mountaineer Therapy Dogs. Participants selected the dog he or she wanted to be paired with throughout the monthly program.

Stefanie Sturm said she can see a huge improvement in her son's reading.
