Reading Buddies Bring Stories to Life!

We're excited to share how our small stuffed animals—lovingly known as Reading Buddies—are making a big difference in our library! These cozy companions offer comfort and encouragement as students read. Whether a child is reading aloud or enjoying a quiet story, a Reading Buddy provides a friendly, judgment-free audience that helps build confidence, focus, and a love for books. Students have found that having a soft friend nearby makes reading time even more inviting and fun.
