Book Buddies is a Library program that helps children aged 6-11 who need support and encouragement in maintaining and improving their reading skills. Children are matched with a teen volunteer, and for half an hour each week, the Book Buddies read aloud to each other, choose books to take home and do literacy-based activities such as word games.
Book Buddies is most effective when the child meets with the same volunteer each week for eight weeks. Volunteers need to be able to commit to 26 hours over 2 months: Tuesdays 3:30pm-6:00pm, April 1 through May 27, at Capilano Branch Library, 3045 Highland Blvd. This includes a two hour training session.
Submit a cover letter and resume by March 23 to Alison Campbell (details below).
