Do you need reading or writing practice? Maybe you want to build your confidence or feel like you could use more motivation. The library is here to help!
Leading to Reading is a free program for kids in grades 1 to 6 who are reading and writing below their grade level in English. You'll meet with one of our friendly library volunteers once a week. Together, you'll play fun games and activities related to reading and writing. And you can practice your reading skills with books you get to choose.
Thinking about joining? The first step is for your parent or guardian to get an application form. Leading to Reading doesn't happen at every branch, so make sure you check the locations. Here is a list of branches currently accepting new learners.
