Kids Are Waiting in Line for You at Northern Lights!

ORGANIZATION: Columbus Metropolitan Library

Reading Buddies
Grab a book and read with a buddy.

Northern Lights is one of our busiest branches, and every day students wait in line for an adult to work with them. Could this be you?

This could be a 2nd grader who just wants to read with someone or an 8th grader with a question about their math homework. It could be a 4th grader who doesn't understand his teacher's questions about science. Who's going to help them?

We hope it's you!

At Northern Lights both Reading Buddies and Homework Help need adult volunteers to help children, many of them new Americans, get ahead at school. We're looking for caring adults who want the best for our young customers.

Would you like to help us?
