The library is offering two different programs to help encourage children to read and build their reading confidence! Learning to read is hard work, and a different atmosphere, a fun teen mentor, or a cute dog can help motivate and encourage young readers. Learn more about these programs below.
Reading Buddies
Read one-on-one with a teen mentor at the library! Suggested for children in grades K to 5. Registration is required. Sign up for a 30-minute time slot and read with one of our teen volunteers. Please call the library at 215-836-5300 or drop in to register.
