Reading Time with Ms. Chloe

Reading Time with Ms. Chloe is a targeted, one-on-one literacy support session designed to help children practice phonics, blending, and reading aloud. During the twenty-minute appointment, children work directly with a library staff member to build confidence in their reading skills. To attend this free program at the Durham Main Library, you must register for a specific time slot online in advance. You can bring your child's favorite book from home, or Ms. Chloe will select appropriate titles from the library shelves. Parents must remain on the children's floor during the session, and the library enforces a strict cancellation policy to ensure waiting families can access these popular spots. This weekday afternoon program is an excellent way to ease back-to-school reading anxiety. It provides structured, professional support in a low-pressure environment, helping your child build a positive relationship with books.
