Children's Program - Kid's Reading Club
Our free Kids Reading Club helps K–5 students build confidence, strengthen reading skills, and develop a lifelong love of books in a fun and supportive environment. Children participate in reading activities, games, crafts, writing exercises, and guided literacy support twice each week. Every child also takes home free books to build their own home library, while families receive tools and encouragement to support reading at home. Spots are limited. Enroll today.
