Westbrook, Hyde Park, and Walnut Creek: Kids Need Your Help this School Year!

ORGANIZATION: Columbus Metropolitan Library

Reading Buddies
Grab a book and read with a buddy.

Can you spare an hour or two each week to help build a child's future? New research from OSU shows that every session a child reads with you yields an increase in their MAP reading test scores.

We're finding that with COVID children have lost ground regarding their reading skills, and we want to fix that...with your help!

Join the crew at our Northern Lights branch each week, and participate in the adventure of learning. We have two programs needing your support: School Help, working with kids K-12 on their studies and Reading Buddies which helps children build reading skills with the K-3 crowd.

Care to share your great love of learning with a child? Then this is the place to be!
