Library Buddies
For children ages 3 yrs – 2nd Grade
We all miss the Library, but now we can bring the Librarians into your home, virtually of course. Have some one-on-one time with your favorite librarian. We’ll read some stories to your kids, they can show us what they have read at home or even read to us. They can show us their favorite toys, stuffed animals, knick knacks, pets, songs, etc… It’s similar to a Show-and-Tell session that takes place through the popular “Zoom” platform.
Email your request to talk virtually with one of the Librarians in the Children’s Department at kids@emmaclark.org. In the email request which Librarian you would like to “hang out” with (if you have a preference), along with your preferred day and time.
