Barks & Books with Benny

Tuesday, November 24, 2026 · 4:45 PM – 5:00 PM

Outside Front Doors — 300 Chandler St., Tewksbury, MA

Children through grade 5 (especially those struggling with reading) are invited to sign up for a one-on-one session with our service dog Benny. Each session lasts for 15 minutes in private - just you, Benny, and his human Mom, Melanie. Bring your own book or borrow one of ours to read. This is a great way to build literacy confidence and fluency with a non-judgmental canine reading partner! Barks and Books is open to children reading independently through grade 5. Registration is required. --
