Virtual Book Buddies allows kids to read aloud to teens without having to leave home! Kids will be matched with teen volunteers and spend 30-60 minutes each week reading aloud on Zoom during the 8-week series. Recommended for students who have completed Kindergarten through 4th grade, though readers of any grade level looking for reading practice are welcome to apply.
Read aloud virtual sessions will take place each Monday night at 6:30 pm from June 6 - August 1.
An in-person option is available for Book Buddies! Kids will be matched with Teen Volunteers and spend 25 minutes each week reading aloud at the Spencer Road, McClay, or Corporate Parkway Branch (you must register for one of the locations - walk-ins will not be accepted for these events).
Each branch will host in-person Book Buddies one weekday evening in two sessions. Sign up for only one session!
Spencer Road Branch: Tuesdays, June 7- August 2
McClay Branch: Wednesday, June 8- August 3
Corporate Parkway Branch: Thursday, June 9- August 4
*Caregivers will be required to remain at the library while their children are reading.
