Tales & Tails: Senior Storytime with Therapy Dog Hallie

January 23, 2026 2:00 PM –3:00 PM

Overview

Seniors are invited to a relaxed, welcoming gathering featuring gentle read-alouds and the soothing presence of gentle Hallie, a certified therapy dog who loves a good story and a scratch behind the ears.

Participants are welcome to listen or share short excerpts from books, essays, or poetry—whatever feels meaningful in the moment.

Spending time with therapy dogs has been shown to reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and promote feelings of calm, connection, and well-being. Combined with shared stories and conversation, this program offers a peaceful space to slow down, connect with others, and enjoy the simple comfort of being together.

Tea and cookies provided. Just bring your love of stories, dogs, and good company.
