Ages 5 to 9. Children will enjoy one-on-one time with a RPL volunteer. Together, they will read stories and play interactive literacy-based games to grow their love of reading.
Volunteers provide one-on-one interactive support for young readers. Ideally, children will be paired with the same Big Buddy for the duration of the program. Reading Buddies foster positive social interactions, share books, practice writing and reading comprehension and play interactive literacy-based games.
Sessions are 1 hour per week on Thursdays from 6:00 – 7:00 PM for 6 weeks:
October 27, November 3, 10, 17, 24, December 1
Parents are required to remain in the Library branch for the duration of the program.

Regina Public Library opened its first shopping mall location as what was then known as Regent Park Branch in 1966.
Since 1995, Regent Place Branch called 107 Albert Street home, and provided the community with a full-service Library Branch.
In February 2012, the Branch moved into a temporary location in the Regina Market Mall, while a new Regent Place Branch was being designed and built.
