Reading Buddies for Kids.jpg

We have a few New Reading Buddy Volunteers ready to start Fall 2023, and that means we have spots for new "Little Buddies" too! 

 

The Caldwell Public Library Reading Buddy program pairs a child with a teen volunteer. It's a great way to motivate a new reader and/or encourage a child's love of books and libraries!  It's best for kids in grades K-4.

 

 

The number of available spaces is dependent on how many volunteers we have in the program.
