For the first time, Lampasas Animal Shelter is partnering with the Lampasas Public Library for a summer reading program.

Children 5 to 13 years old, along with a parent or guardian, will be able to visit the shelter this summer and read to one of the animals. The Tales for Tails summer reading program will last until the end of July, with 20-minute timeslots available from 10 a.m. through 3:30 p.m.
