Book Buddies is a library program that helps children aged 6-11 who need your support and encouragement in maintaining and improving their reading skills. Children are matched with a teen volunteer and for half an hour each week, the Book Buddies read aloud to each other, choose books to take home and do literacy-based activities such as word games.

- enthusiastic about reading and can model reading as an enjoyable activity
- patient, supportive and willing to try different ways of engaging children
- able to communicate clearly, effectively
