Animal Hour at the Library

Creature Comfort Pet Therapy

Walk in and meet a therapy animal!

Roxbury Library will be hosting a Meet a Therapy Animal Hour at the Library. 

For one hour, once a month, the Library will have therapy animals visiting the Children's section.

 

During this time, kids can interact with and read a book to the animals (if time allows). 

This is a walk in program. Reading books will depend on the number of individuals in attendance. 

 

Animals may vary from month to month. Creature Comfort Pet Therapy works with dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and ferrets. 

The library is unable to announce the animals prior to the event.
