    Description

    Reader Friend - Read with Me

    Read With Me is an opportunity for volunteers to read to Next Door children ages 0-5, during their library time. This helps to increase children's literacy skills and fosters a lifelong love of reading. The Read with Me times are Tuesday-Thursday 8:45am-11 am at either our Capitol Dr. or 29th St Schools.

    As a Reader with our Books for Kids- Read with Me program, you are making a vital contribution to sharing your love of reading with a child. Volunteers arrive at 8:45am to select books from our library to read with the children and are provided a brief orientation regarding our program and being a reader.

    Please respond for a sign-up schedule and/or more information.

    Age Requirements: We welcome anyone 4th grade and up to volunteer with us! Anyone under the age of 16 years must be accompanied by an adult.
