😃 📖 😁 New Program Alert! 😁 📖 😃

Our Teen Advisory Group has decided to offer a reading buddies program at the Campbell River Library, starting November 7 and running on Thursdays and Saturdays throughout November and December, and hopefully into the new year!

Kids in kindergarten to Grade 4 are welcome to practice their reading skills by signing up for a 45 minute session with one of our teen volunteers, who will read with them, play fun literacy activities, and help them build confidence in their abilities!

To sign up, either visit our library, call us, or email [email protected] with your child's full name, age, grade, phone number, email address, and preferred dates and timeslots :)
