For: Pre-School & Elementary (ages 3 to 10 years old).  Younger siblings may participate with the active support of a parent or caregiver as long as they do not disrupt the program.

How to Attend: 

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).
