CKPL Looking For New Reading Buddies

Image by Mircea Iancu from PixabayThe Chatham-Kent Public Library is looking for volunteers to help share their love of reading.

The Reading Buddies program begins in October, offering free one-on-one assistance to children in grade 1 through grade 6 who would like to practice reading.

Volunteers spend 30 minutes with each child encouraging and motivating them to read using literacy-based games, activities and high-interest readers.

The Library is looking for volunteers 16 and older to help out at the Chatham and Wallaceburg branches.
