The Reading Buddies program at Charlotte Mecklenburg Library is a free program that brings children and staff or volunteers (adults or teens) together to read in a thirty-minute appointment time weekly. Children (grades K-5) select their own books to read, and trained volunteers provide support and encouragement to help your child experience and develop a love of reading! Reading Buddy appointments are available for children in person at all Charlotte Mecklenburg Library locations throughout the school year, and limited appointments are available at select libraries that choose to participate in the summer. Every child is limited to 1 appointment slot per semester.
