What is Book Buddies?
Big Buddies are teen volunteers in Grades 7-12. You will get paired with your own Little Buddy in Grades K-3.
What do we do? We meet, read together, and we do an art project each week.
Dates: Time: 4:30-5:30 PM for 4 Thursdays on the following dates:
9/26, 10/10, 10/17, 10/24
*We ask Big Buddies to arrive 15 minutes early to gather books to read with their buddy*
Registration required. When you register you sign up for all four Book Buddies dates!
New Buddies must attend a 45 minute orientation.
Choose one date to attend:
Thursday, September 12, 4:30-5:15 pm
Or Thursday, September 19, 4:30-5:15 pm
New Big Buddies or past Virtual Big Buddies: need to take the in person orientation. You will go through a quick training which includes learning the layout out the Children’s floor and where to find the best books for your Little Buddy.
If you were a Big Buddy in a session from Spring ’22 – Spring ’24: you don’t need an orientation.
Sign up required.
