## About

Read with a four-legged friend from the Denver Pet Partners therapy program! Animals, such as dogs, cats and bunnies, are the perfect reading companions because they create a relaxed, comfortable and safe environment for sharing books. Children must be able to read independently and are encouraged to share a favorite book. Registration is recommended and reserves a 15-minute session with a furry friend. Register online at jeffcolibrary.org. Patrons can also register by calling 303-235-5275 or visiting the front desk.
