This summer, help your child practice their reading and continue building life-long literacy skills by pairing them with one of our teen reading buddies. Each week , your child can connect in-person, in the library, with a Teen Big Buddy. Together they will practice reading out-loud, learn new words & concepts, and enjoy telling stories at their individual reading levels. We will cap off each session with a fun activity or craft. This program is for school-aged kids going into grades 2-5 in the fall and is perfect for kids who could benefit from some extra encouragement to continue reading over the summer months.
