Winter 2025 Book Buddies: sign up for Big Buddies!

Teens in Grades 7-12 can sign up to be a Big Buddy!

Are you a teen who needs volunteer hours? Do you like volunteering with little kids? Book Buddies is for you!

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 and time: we will meet on Thursdays, 2/13, 2/20, 2/27, 3/6, from 4:15-5:45pm

*We ask Big Buddies to arrive 15 minutes early to gather books to read with their buddy*

Registration required, space is limited.

Signing up for Thurs. 2/13 signs you up for ALL 4 days.

Registration required. When you register you sign up for all four Book Buddies dates!

 

New Buddies must attend a 45 minute orientation. Returning Big Buddies do not need an orientation. 

When you sign up, choose one date to attend:

Thursday, January 30th, 4:30-5:15 pm

Or Thursday, February 6th, 4:30-5:15 pm

New 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 – Fall ’24: you don’t need an orientation.
