Summer Study Buddies Program

2:30pm - 4:00pm
Drop in!
This program is perfect for any student in grades K-5th who desires extra help with reading or math. Drop in any time between 2:30 and 4:00 to practice reading or to play simple games that reinforce math concepts.
Reading Help
Reading is more fun when you read in pairs! Come to the library, grab a book and read to one of our costumed characters, to a furry ear(one of our reader dogs) or to another young student. Reading buddies will vary from week to week.
Math Practice
Take the opportunity to show your child that math can be fun! We will have older students on hand to play games with dice, marbles, dominoes and puzzles: games designed to reinforce simple math concepts and create confidence.
