PANDEMIC PEN PALS
APL is now offering Pandemic Pen Pals - a great way to earn volunteer hours while helping an elementary school student with their reading and writing, as well as penmanship or typing skills.
Letters from kids will transmitted via Library staff to ensure appropriateness and to protect the privacy and contact details of both
pen pals.
If you're interested in volunteering as a Pandemic Pen Pal,
please email us at ya@aurorapl.ca.
