- Monday, Sept. 17

- You must submit an application - contact Abby Moster
The children we serve are often unable to attend story time programs in their local library, and so we bring the very best the library has to offer straight to them. Our volunteers offer stories, songs, puppets and smiles to our youngest book lovers- children ages 2-5.
No formal experience is needed, just a strong commitment to both children and reading. Most volunteers spend approximately five hours per month on POP, reading twice a month at their assigned center. We ask that volunteers commit to participate with our program for one full school year. All story time materials are provided by the library.

Find a library in your community where you can read, learn, and discover. As a resident in Buncombe County, you are a community owner in our County-run services and programs such as our public libraries and all their amenities. We encourage everyone to take advantage of these County benefits!
