Reading Buddies offers children, ages seven to 12, an opportunity to meet with a volunteer to practise their reading. Children must have completed grade one to join. Each session allows time for children to read with their buddies, and then play a game or do a fun group activity. 

The branches that are hosting Reading Buddies are listed below. Please drop in to the location nearest you for more details on dates, times and how to register.
