Growing Readers Together - Reading Tutoring

If your K-3rd grader is reading below grade level and attends school within the library's service area email GRT Coordinators Johnny and Emma or call 231-758-3112 for more information.

Growing Readers Together is a three-pronged approach for 1st-3rd grade students who are below reading level to enhance their reading proficiency: direct tutoring for students, Family Literacy Nights to help families learn more skills to support their student’s achievements, and materials for students to take home.

Meet Belfry

Belfry welcomes everyone at the entrance of the kids room. Belfry is a donation from the now closed SEE-North organization. This 7-foot tall barn owl was sculpted by Sara Tisdel, a local art teacher, and a group of teen artists. The base was created by Tom Moran of Moran Ironworks. The sculpture is modeled after SEE-North's real owl mascot, Belfry T. Barnowl.
