Reading Buddy Program

The reading buddy program is available for primary school-aged children who already have basic reading skills and would benefit from additional practice.

About the program

The Reading Buddy Program is a volunteer-based initiative that offers free, individual reading sessions for children in primary school. During these sessions, dedicated volunteers engage in one-on-one reading activities with the children.

It is important for parents to remain on the premises while the reading session takes place.

How to book

To schedule a session for your child and obtain information about session times and locations, please contact library staff today via phone or speak to them in person.
