Giggle, Wiggles, and Woofs

Come join us at Elmwood Park located in the Detroit Public Library on March 14, 2026 at 2:30 PM (Eastern Time) for a fun-filled event!

Giggles, Wiggles, and Woofs is a paws-itively relaxing program designed to help kids unwind after a long day or busy week. Children ages 3-17 are invited to enjoy a calming storytime led by Ms. Tia, followed by a special chance to read one-on-one with the friendly therapy dog Otis.

The giggles may turn into happy wiggles as kidds share stories, practice reading, and soak up some tail-wagging comfort. It's a gentle, judgement-free space to relax and build confidence, and enjoy the soothing presence of a furry friend.

Come for the stories, stay for the smiles-- and leave feeling a little lighter.

Info: We will begin our story time with "Don't Trust Fish" by Neil Sharpson illustrated by Dan Santat. They are in the water, and some are even in our homes, What are fish and what are they doing when we are paying attention. Find out during story time! Next, create magic with 'Mister Fairy" by Morgane de Cadier illustrated by Florian Pige. Help Mister Fairy learn his special talent, is a morning fairy, a sleepy time, fairy, as he ventures off to a new and dreary forest, he learns truly how special he really is!

Info: After the story, pick a book to read with Otis. His listening ears are on and ready to dive into a book with you. This is the perfect opportunity to practice your reading skills with a cuddly buddy.
