Overview

Trained volunteers and their accredited dogs create a nurturing environment where children can enjoy a range of stories in a relaxed environment. This unique program aims to make reading fun, helping children enjoy books and to become confident, lifelong readers.

Young people aged 7 to 12 are invited to enjoy stories and pets as they sit with a friendly reader and attentive dogs, just outside the Bookshop in the Foyer.

Very small children (under 7) can listen to the stories and pat the dogs with parental supervision.

Several dogs will be on-site for each session; however, places are limited, and bookings are preferred.

Storytime with the Story Dogs takes place in the Foyer on the last Sunday of every month for the remainder of the year. You're welcome to book ahead.

This program is presented in partnership with Story Dogs.
