Bark for Books at Coastal Branch Library

Join Dog-Harmony and the Walton County Coastal Library for Bark for Books—a tail-waggingly fun way for kids to build confidence by reading aloud to a friendly therapy dog! Held every Wednesday from 3:30–4:30 PM, January 14 through May 20, this unique literacy program gives children the chance to practice their reading skills in a calm, pressure-free environment.

Call the library directly (850-267-2809) to sign up for this complimentary program.

Reading to a nonjudgmental, furry friend helps children improve fluency, build self-esteem, and develop a lifelong love of reading. This program is made possible through the generous support of the St. Joe Community Foundation.

South Walton Coastal Branch Library hosts year round events such as book sales, community programs and lectures, children's story time, meditation, yoga, games and other classes open to the community. Stop in to see works of a local artist on display each month. 

The library is located at 437 Greenway Trail off Hwy. 331 South. Follow South Walton Coastal Branch Library on Facebook for updates and events.
