Read to the Dogs is a program sponsored by the Public Library, Albuquerque Library Foundation, and Bernalillo County.

This gives children an opportunity to practice their reading skills without fear or judgment. The adults do not correct a child’s reading. Parents may sit quietly in the room with their child or take this moment to find a book and read just outside the program area.
