 ought kids and caring adults together at the Old Forge Library for somethi
 ng simple and powerful: reading together.<br />Made possible through the g
 enerous support of the Leola Tobin Memorial Fund\, this multigenerational 
 program pairs first-\, second-\, and third-grade students with adult volun
 teers\, or &ldquo\;book buddies\,&rdquo\; for an hour of reading\, convers
 ation\, activities\, snacks\, and plenty of encouragement.</p>\n<p>The goa
 l isn&rsquo\;t just to get through a book. It&rsquo\;s about helping kids 
 feel comfortable with reading\, build confidence\, connect with another me
 mber of the community\, and have fun along the way. Each session includes 
 shared reading\, learning activities\, coloring\, snacks\, and reading rew
 ards.</p>\n<p>This fall\, Linking Lives Through Reading will meet for six 
 Thursdays\,&nbsp\;October 1 through November 5\, from 2:15 to 3:15 pm.&nbs
 p\;Six additional sessions will be offered in the&nbsp\; spring.</p>\n<p>T
 he walk is part of it!&nbsp\;The Town of Webb Schools does not provide tra
 nsportation to the library for this program. Instead\, library volunteers 
 and community members are welcome to join the walk from school to the libr
 ary.<br />Anyone who would like to help walk the participating students fr
 om school to the library is invited to join the group. It&rsquo\;s a simpl
 e way to be part of the program and another opportunity for kids and commu
 nity members to connect.</p>\n<p>Parents and caregivers should plan to pic
 k up their children at the library at&nbsp\;3:15 pm.</p>\n<p>Become a book
  buddy.&nbsp\;Linking Lives Through Reading is always looking for more adu
 lt volunteers. No teaching experience is needed. Book buddies simply need 
 to be willing to spend an hour reading\, listening\, encouraging\, talking
 \, and sharing a little time with a child.<br />A favorite book\, a good c
 onversation\, and an hour of attention can make a real difference.</p>\n<p
 >To register a child\, become an adult book buddy\, or join the walk from 
 school to the library\, call the&nbsp\;Old Forge Library at 315-369-6008&n
 bsp\;or email&nbsp\;oldforge@midyork.org.</p>\nhttps://midyork.libnet.info
