Each family registers for a 30-minute time slot with the dogs, with fall and Halloween coloring pages to work on alongside. A new scavenger hunt on the library's second floor is open anytime without registration, so families can extend the visit. Gentle reading to a calm dog is a confidence boost for beginning and reluctant readers, and preschoolers enjoy the coloring. Two sessions are offered; registration closes the day before. Downtown parking information is linked from the event page. ## Similar picks in Tampa - [Sensory Trick or Treat – Sky Zone Clearwater](https://grassyknees.com/tampa/activities/sensory-trick-or-treat-sky-zone-clearwater--listing-db6e577b5bb221d243d3a3e2) — Sat, Oct 24 · 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM · Sky Zone Clearwater, Largo · checked Oct 13.
