Reading Buddies

About this event

We want to be your school aged child's reading buddy! Sign up your school aged child for a 30 minute reading buddy session to share in the joy and power of reading. Library volunteers read aloud favorite books by asking questions, building vocabulary, and connecting to your child's world. The fall semester runs 9/14-12/20, and sessions are available Tuesday 4:30-6:30 p.m., Wednesday 5:30-6:30 p.m., Thursday 4:00-5:00 p.m., and Saturday 2:30-4:00 p.m.

Children register for a weekly reading buddy time for the entire semester! Please call 704-416-5421 or email dgwinn@cmlibrary.org to inquire about open slots for your child, and to register!

Other Info:

Children should be in K- 5th grade.

Children should make a great effort to attend all scheduled reading buddy sessions, as volunteers are donating their valuable time to read with your child. Families are required to notify the Library branch at least 24 hours in advance if you will be absent. Children should not miss more than 3 sessions each semester. Children will give up their slot if they cannot adhere to absence requirements and placed on a waiting list. There will be no sessions when the Library is closed.

Please be on time, or a few minutes early each week for your scheduled appointment. Please be prepared with a book to read as well!
