Join us in making a difference in children's lives by volunteering for the Dallas Public Library's annual Summer Book Buddies! You'll have the amazing opportunity to become a reading tutor for students entering 2nd through 5th grades.

You can volunteer just once a week on Thursdays from 4:00pm - 6:00pm from June 10th - August 3rd. Students will have the opportunity to book a 30 minute one-on-one tutoring session with you. Therefore, you'll ideally tutor about 4 students each week.
