Book Buddies is a FREE literacy program that brings child and teens together to share the joy of reading. It pairs trained teen volunteers (Big Buddies) with children in K-3rd grades (Little Buddies).
Each Wednesday for 10 weeks, Big Buddies and Little Buddies will meet to read together and create positive experiences surrounding literacy. By the end of the session, we aspire that all Little Buddies will learn to love to read and form positive associations with reading.
Witness history in the making as we gather at the library to cheer on the crew of Artemis II! For the first time in over 50 years, humans are heading back to the lunar vicinity, and you have a front-row seat to the live NASA broadcast. This mission marks a pivotal step toward landing the first woman and first person of color on the Moon, and we’re celebrating with a day dedicated to space exploration and lunar discovery.
