KFPL’s Reading Buddies program exists to nurture the developing literacy skills of young readers through one-one-one reading support and fun literacy activities. This year, Reading Buddies will be facilitated online with Zoom from August 10 to 14.

Participation will require a computer with stable Internet connection and computer with webcam and microphone. We are asking that a parent or guardian remain close by to assist with any technology issues.
