Share your joy of reading as a Lone Star College-CyFair Library Book Buddy volunteer today.
Book Buddies is a free 9-week program that brings kindergarten through 3rd-grade children (Little Buddies) and adult volunteers (Big Buddies) together once a week for 45 minutes of one-on-one shared reading.
A Big Buddy helps a Little Buddy with reading and comprehension skills now for future success in school and with the ultimate goal of instilling a lifetime joy of reading.
Buddies will meet from 5 p.m. – 5:45 p.m. Tuesdays Sept. 12 through Nov. 14 in the library at LSC-CyFair, located at 9191 Barker Cypress Road.
Volunteers for this literacy program must be at least 18 years old. There will be a background check and training in late August.
Apply by Aug. 15 at hcpl.net/book-buddies-adult-volunteer-application. For more details, email Jennifer.E.Wyman@LoneStar.edu or call 281.290.3914.
