Promotes early literacy skills. The program features reading, singing, talking, writing and playing. We will help give you the resources you need to expand your child’s skills, preparing them to read. Recommended for children ages 2-5 years, it features age appropriate stories, songs, and fingerplays. Story time is an excellent way to bond with your child, boost their vocabulary, and hopefully raise a lifelong reader. Studies have shown that regularly reading to your child can increase their attention span, boost their emotional intelligence, and flex their imagination.

It pairs trained volunteers (Big Buddies) with children in Kindergarten through 3rd grades (Little Buddies).

The Fall cycle of Book Buddies will run from September 17th to November 19th. Reading sessions will be in the library meeting room.
