The Reading With A Ranger program is presented in partnership with Corpus Christi Public Libraries.
Beat the summer heat and join a park ranger at the library! Learn about an interesting animal that calls the national seashore home by listening to a story and participating in a hands-on activity.
In summer 2025, rangers will be reading K9 Mattis On The Job by Mark Tappan. This story and additional activity will teach participants all about the life and work of a police dog.
