Children between the ages of 4 and 12 can go to the HARP East Side shelter and read books to animals awaiting adoption.

There will be an hour-long tutorial to learn about the shelter and the animals.

Children can then bring their own book or choose one already available at the shelter to read to any animals whose kennel signs say, “Read me on. !”
