Reading Buddy Goals
Welcome to Reading Buddies
The goal of Reading Buddies is to provide one-on-one dedicated reading time to encourage and motivate readers and to provide a fun library experience. By providing a safe and welcoming environment, we aim to enhance young readers' interest in books and the library. Come discover the magic of reading!
Each weekly Reading Buddies session is scheduled for 30 minutes. Buddies will help select materials then they will read together for 20 minutes. The last 10 minutes of the session is for games and activities.
We ask that you please commit to all 8 weeks of the program. You can support the goals of the program by encouraging positive participation, by staying in the library during your child's session, by communicating constructively with their buddy if you have suggestions, and by letting us know if you're unable to attend a particular session.
