Franklin Branch

FRB Children's Department

Improve your reading skills and enjoy time with a registered therapy dog. Call 738-2833 to sign up for a 15-minute session.

Kids in grades K-5 are welcome to bring a favorite book, or choose a library book, and practice their reading skills. This takes the pressure off the child and allows them to enjoy the experience of reading aloud while sharpening their skills at the same time.
