Book Buddies @ the Bridgewater Library

Every Wednesday, young children excitedly come to the Bridgewater Library to meet up with a buddy - a Book Buddy! 

Join the Bridgewater Library and our teen volunteers on Wednesday, July 25th, from 1:30-3:30pm, for Book Buddies, a fun, interactive program where early and pre-readers choose a picture book to read to their Buddy or have read to them.  Each week’s program has a different theme, and once children finish their story, they are encouraged to create a simple craft with their Buddy.

This weekly initiative is a fun way for young readers to have a shared reading experience outside of the family routine, helping to support and encourage reading as a lifelong activity.

Our teen volunteers can’t wait to meet and sit down with your young and eager readers!
