Lenox Library is excited to announce a new program for children to practice their reading!

Read to a Librarian is a program for children ages 4-10 years old. Each child will be paired with a Lenox Library staff member to practice reading together for up to three 30 minute sessions per month. Our goals are to help build children’s literacy skills and confidence and instill a lifelong love of reading. Parents/caregivers must be present during the entire program. Families will choose from predetermined time slots and sign up for their sessions on a first-come, first-served basis. Families can choose to sign up for one, two, or three sessions for the month of October. Registration is required. Please stop by the Library youth desk to sign up.
