The Medford Public Library introduces its new Reading Buddies program for kids. Come practice your reading skills by reading aloud to teen volunteers. Reading Buddies will be available for 30-minute increments and happy to listen to you read whatever book(s) you’d like. Buddies will offer an encouraging ear and will only jump in to help if asked for it. Registration is not required. Please note that you may need to wait for a Buddy on busy afternoons. Reading Buddies will be available in the Children’s Room most Tuesdays from 3:30 to 5 p.m. (no session on February 18 due to Medford Public Schools vacation week). Questions? Email Sam Donahue, Senior Children’s Librarian, at sdonahue@minlib.net.
