3/14, 3/21, 3/29, and 4/4
*We ask Big Buddies to arrive 15 minutes early to gather books to read with their buddy*
Registration required. When you register you sign up for all four Book Buddies dates!
New Buddies must attend a 45 minute orientation.
Choose one date to attend:
Thursday, February 29th, 4:30-5:15 pm
Or Thursday, March 7, 4:30-5:15 pm
New Big Buddies or past Virtual Big Buddies: need to take the in person orientation. You will go through a quick training which includes learning the layout out the Children’s floor and where to find the best books for your Little Buddy.
If you were a Big Buddy in a session from Spring ’22 – Fall ’23: you don’t need an orientation.
Sign up required.
