What is an alternate way to get in touch with you about your sessions or other questions?
We will offer virtual and in-person 60-minute reading sessions twice a week from June 9–July 24, 2025. If you choose an in-person reading session this summer, you will have to bring your child to one of our library locations (we will provide computers).
Below are our VIRTUAL reading session days and times. If you would like your child to attend a virtual reading session on ZOOM, please choose which one below works best for your child.
In the event we aren't able to offer you your first choice for the VIRTUAL session days and time you selected above, please select another additional day and time your child will be available to participate in reading sessions this summer.
Below are our IN-PERSON reading session days and times. If you would like your child to attend an in-person reading session at the LIBRARY, please choose which one below works best for your child.
Please indicate any additional information about your child's availability during the program dates here (examples include sports, camp, or activity schedules, vacations, or anything else that could lead to absences).
It is important to us that students have access to the devices needed to participate in our virtual program. Phones will not work for our program. Please indicate which devices your child will have access to this summer during session times. *
I understand that my child will not be able to use a phone for their reading sessions. If they are using a phone, they will be asked to switch devices to properly participate in the reading sessions. *
It is important to us that students have access to a strong Wi-Fi connection during our virtual reading sessions. Please choose which statement best applies to your household's Wi-Fi access so we can best support your child this summer. *
Write/list some of your child's interests (i.e., "They like Pokemon," or "they play the guitar"). Please also let us know if your child is shy or energetic. We will use this information to try to pair your child with a Youth Mentor with similar interests *
Does your child need to work with a mentor who speaks a language in addition to English? *
