If you do not have a Skokie Public Library card or another card with current borrowing privileges, please call the Contact Number listed below and a member of our staff will be happy to sign you up.

Registration for Library programs requires a current library card from Skokie Public Library or a registered card from your "home" library. After you enter your card number and your last name to "log in" to the online calendar, your full name, phone number, and email address will automatically appear in the sign-up form as it currently appears in your Library account. You will be able to verify the information without having to type it every time you sign up for a program. This will improve accuracy and speed the registration process. If you call to register for a program, please have your Library card number ready for a staff member to enter for you.

For all programs that require registration...
  • Where noted, public registration ends 2 days before the program date.

  • After the registration deadline, available spaces will be filled on a first come, first served basis.
    Please call the "Contact Number" listed below for space availability and registration.

Description:
 BOOKING WITH A BUDDY will be back for another exciting summer at Skokie Public Library! Children who will enter 1st through 3rd grades in the fall can participate in this fun literacy program designed to promote reading outside of the school year. "Little Buddy" participants spend one hour each week for a 5-week period reading with "Big Buddy" volunteers who range in age from junior high school students to senior adults. Please note that while this program encourages reading, it is not a tutoring program and all "Big Buddies" are volunteers.
       BOOKING WITH A BUDDY time slots are scheduled for Mondays and Thursdays in the Youth Services Department. "Little Buddies" are matched by Youth Services staff and time slots are assigned based on the availability of "Big Buddy" volunteers.
       BOOKING WITH A BUDDY will run from Monday, June 27 through Monday, August 1. By preregistering online, you have saved your child a space in the program. You will still need to complete a full program application, which is due back to the library by Monday, June 6. If you register online or over the phone, you will be mailed an application.
For kids entering grades 1 through 3 in the fall. Preregistration is required and begins May 1. Click the link below to preregister for BOOKING WITH A BUDDY. Space is limited.
