The Reading Buddies program at Brimbank Libraries has been running for over a decade and helps support young children in their reading skills, encouraging them to grow their confidence and enjoyment of reading.
Student volunteers buddy up with the young readers to help them choose a book, listen to them read, help them keep track of the books or chapters they’ve read and hand out rewards along the way.
The hour long sessions run all across Brimbank, at the Sydenham Library on Mondays from 3.45pm, the St Albans Library on Tuesdays from 3.30pm, Sunshine Library on Wednesdays from 4pm, and Deer Park Library on Thursdays from 4pm.
