    • Book Buddies: The program is simple - match 'tween, teen, and adult volunteers with younger kids who simply want more reading practice.  Volunteers must at least 10 years old.
      • How we do it:  Volunteers and young readers sign up in advance.  Every Monday afternoon from 2-3, volunteers meet in the storytime room of the library.  Anytime between 2 and 3 p.m., young readers can come to the library and find a volunteer to read to.  The volunteer and the reader may look for some books together.  The volunteer can also help the reader fill out their summer reading log.   From Svetha Hetzler, MID
