Grades 1-3. This program pairs children with high school students who share their love of reading with fun picture books and literacy games.
Reading Buddies runs for 4 weeks and children should attend all sessions. If your child is unable to attend a session, please call the branch before the program starts.
Parents and caregivers are welcome to enjoy a good book on their own while they wait, but must stay in the library during the program.
Please note: Big Buddies are not professional tutors, but they are excited to share their love of reading!
