Program Description

Event Details

Visit our registration page to register by February 10.

Every fall and spring semester, we will pair college students with grade school students to read together and enjoy the library.  The pairs meet once a week for 45 minutes, throughout the semester.

The goal of Partners in Reading is to foster a life-long love of reading and of the library. Meeting times are flexible!  We begin our sessions at the top of the hour. Participants may select any hour on Mondays through Thursdays from 3:00 to 7:00 pm to meet. 

Registration for the spring semester of Partners in Reading begins January 1. See registration link at the top of this page. Sessions begin the week of February 13 and run for 10 weeks.

While we try really hard to match every child that signs up for the program, we hope you’ll understand that the number of kids matched depends on the number of college students that register – and vice versa!
