The Reading Buddies program helps children build positive relationships with literacy. Children are matched with a teen volunteer, and the pair will spend 20 minutes reading books together. Kids may choose to read to their buddy or to have their buddy read to them. The Library will provide a selection of books, or kids may bring their own books. Caregivers do not need to stay in the room during this program, but they should be available in the library.
