Book Buddies
Book Buddies at Haverstraw King’s Daughters Public Library is a volunteer program in which teens (grades 7-12) will work with children (grades 1-4) to foster better reading skills. In addition to reading and listening, we will be playing some word and reading-focused games to sharpen these skills!
This program will take place from July 6 until August 26:
Mondays (5-6:30 PM) at both the Main Library and Village Branch
Wednesdays (5-6:30 PM) at the Main Library
Saturdays, July 11 and August 1 (12-4 PM) at the Main Library
Please note that while the sessions are 90 minutes, you are not required to stay the entire time.
For more information, stop by the Children’s Reference desk.
Story Walk
StoryWalk® is a fun way for families to enjoy stories and the outdoors together.
We encourage the community to visit the StoryWalk® locations at Emeline Park and Peck’s Pond.

The StoryWalk® Project was created by Anne Ferguson and developed in partnership with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library in Montpelier Vermont. Storywalk® is a registered service mark owned by the Kellogg-Hubbard Library.
