Reading Buddies

Reading Buddies is a volunteer program where the Library recruits, trains, and places caring adults in our Children’s Spaces to engage in kid-led activities during out of school time.

This could be telling silly jokes, playing Uno or other fun games, working on crafts and activities, getting deep into the world of Roblox, or… just about anything.

Kids can get help with homework, read a decodable alongside a friendly grownup, enjoy listening to a story, or build their literacy skills by playing a fun phonics game.

Contact your favorite CLP location to learn if Reading Buddies are currently available in your neighborhood.
