Do you enjoy reading to children? Are you looking for an opportunity to volunteer in either Auburn or Lewiston? Then please check out BookReach. BookReach brings library storytimes into the homes of local childcare providers through the use of volunteer readers. Each volunteer is matched with a childcare located close to your home, and participation only takes an hour of your morning time each week.
