Reading Buddies
Children entering grades 1-4 may participate in KPL’s Summer Reading Buddies program. Younger children are paired with teen volunteers for one-on-one reading time over eight-weekly sessions throughout the summer. We ask that participants miss no more than two sessions to get the most out of the experience. We make every attempt to accommodate every child but space is limited.
Reading Buddies: Mondays, June 10 – July 29, 2019.
Session 1: 1:45-2:30 pm
Session 2: 2:45-3:30 pm
Last Day for sign-up Tuesday, May 28, 2019.
