Do you want to earn community service hours? Sign-up for Book Buddies, which in case you didn't know, is a program that pairs a child (4 years old – 3rd grade) with an older child (5th-10th grade) for a rewarding reading experience! Book Buddies will meet in the Library Meeting Room for a half an hour each week for five weeks. Older children will read to and share stories with their little book buddies and will receive community service credit for participation.
To participate, sign-up at the Reference Desk starting December 10 either at Smiththown Main or Smithtown Commack branch. A one-hour Training Workshop is required for participation.
