Join us for a read-along with Gizmo and his friends! Gizmo supports the wellness of children through friendly and age-appropriate messaging focusing on youth's mental health. Registration required.
Enjoy a fun read-along designed for children in 1st through 5th grade featuring Gizmo, the adorable therapy dog, and his friends! In addition, children will have a chance to meet and greet several therapy dogs! There will also be some "pawesome" activities introducing children to feelings, thoughts, and healthy actions to protect and support their mental health as they learn and grow.
This special partnership program is brought to you by Dr. Dogs (Fun with Fideaux), the McNeese Kay Doré Counseling Clinic, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, the Connecticut Suicide Advisory Board, and the Calcasieu Parish Public Library.
Parents and caregivers must register their children but do not need to register themselves. Adults must stay with their children during the program. Please call (337) 721-7170 for more information.
