VINELAND - On Thursday evening, the Vineland Public Library hosted Fido and Friends, a therapy dog group, to help children build their reading skills.

The handlers and their dogs from Fido and Friends volunteer their time to come visit the library about once a month. All of the dogs are certified therapy dogs and insured.

During their visit, children take turns reading to a therapy dog in a quiet room in the children’s department. The program is designed for children from ages 6 to 12, but any child under 12 who can read is welcome.

Fido and Friends will next visit the Vineland Public Library on Aug. 2 at 6 p.m.
