Rescue Readers Scheduled today from 4-5pm is CANCELLED for the day as the shelter is without power due to the storm. My apologies for the inconvenience.

Dana Mastroianni,

Rockport Public Library

Please note: Registration is required. Masks are required for all attendees for all in-person events and programs. This program may shift to a virtual format at any time if circumstances prohibit meeting in person. 

Want to help local shelter animals that are waiting for their furever homes? Join the Rockport Public Library and Cape Ann Animal Aid for "Rescue Readers", a monthly program where you can sign up to read to cats, kittens, dogs, or puppies that are waiting to be adopted. This is a great opportunity for you to practice (or even show off!) your reading skills, and to help socialize and acclimate these amazing animals to human voices. By the end of the session, you might even make a new fur friend! 

Please note: All sessions will take place via Zoom and readers who sign up will be assigned 15 minute time slots between 4 and 5pm on the day the program takes place.
