Pierce County Library System’s Reading Buddies program pairs children little readers, ages 5 to 8, with teenage buddy volunteers, ages 14 to 18, to help improve the children’s reading skills.
Students interested in the Reading Buddies program need to complete a Reading Buddies questionnaire, available at the library Help Desk. Teens who wish to volunteer with the program will also need to complete a volunteer application and background check form.
Reading Buddies is one more way Pierce County Library is helping students learn and supporting school success. This program also gives students a way to serve their community.
