Reading Buddies for Teens
What is Reading Buddies?
Reading Buddies is a program that pairs teens aged 13-18 with kids in grades 2 to 4 who would like to improve their reading. We are looking for role models who can connect with children and help them become engaged with the library and develop a love of reading and learning. Teens must be able to participate in all sessions.
The program includes a training component and will have ongoing support from library staff.
Due to high demand, Reading Buddies is limited to Vancouver residents only.
Registration is now closed.

Teen Services is working to make our programs accessible to all Vancouver teens. Please email us at teens@vpl.ca to let us know how our program facilitators can support you to participate fully and comfortably.
