Book Buddies is a free program that brings children and volunteers together to share the joy of reading. It pairs trained volunteers (Big Buddies) with children in kindergarten through 3rd grades (Little Buddies). For 10 weeks, the Buddies meet once a week in the afternoon for 45 minutes of one-on-one shared reading.

Haunted homeschoolers, join us in the Grand Chamber for a morning of spine-tingling creativity and monstrous masterpieces at Crafts from the Crypt!
Every week this October at 11:00 AM, creative ghouls and goblins ages 5–10 will gather at the library to resurrect ordinary craft supplies into spectacularly spooky art. From friendly phantoms to creepy-crawly keepsakes, each session will be horridly fun and hands-on for growing monsters--we mean makers. Parents, don't fear—the mess stays with us in the crypt.
