Zooper Reads

Frank Buck Zoo has partnered with The Cooke County Library to host a literacy day at the zoo.

“Zooper Reads” combines the love of reading and visiting the Frank Buck Zoo. This special early literacy event will take place on Saturday, September 13, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Frank Buck Zoo in Leonard Park in Gainesville. Both children and adults are welcome to attend.

Library Staff will be on-site handing out free children's books for participants to read to the animals.

Thanks to the Safran Seats USA Community Involvement Committee, admission will be paid for all who enter during the program. Each child that enters will be able to select their own book from a variety of titles and then read it to their favorite zoo animals. The book selected will become the child’s to take home for their personal library.
