Practice your reading skills by reading aloud to our doggie pals. Bring a book from home or read one of ours! This is a great way for children to practice their literacy skills. Please register.

For all ages. Snuggle up and read to a furry friend. Therapy dogs will be here to listen to young and not-so-young readers. For those who need practice reading to someone who will not judge, but will be very happy for the cuddles, and for those who just love dogs and reading! 

This program has been updated to include registration. Due to changing guidelines from the CDC regarding COVID-19, we believe this is the best way to keep you informed about the status of our programs.

About the branch

The Ellet Branch Library is a hub of education and entertainment for community members of all ages. Within the library, popular programs for adults include summer concerts and book discussion groups. For teens, weekly events include gaming, creative arts, and more. Finally, for younger children and their families, play, storytime, crafting, and parent/child early literacy programs are popular attractions. In the community, Ellet Branch Library staff can be found at area schools, at Safe Landing Teen Shelter, the Ellet Historical Society, and collaborating with community organizations to make Ellet the best it can be.

Computers and computer classes, WiFi, printing, copying, scanning, and faxing complement a rich collection of books (themed book bundles and accelerated reader titles are particularly popular), and movies to make the Ellet Branch Library the one-stop spot for the community's educational and entertainment needs and interests.
