1,000 Books Before Kindergarten

 Research shows that reading books and sharing stories with your child is one of the best ways to help them enter school with the language skills they need to be ready to learn and grow.

How it Works:
  • Pick up a Reading Log in the Children's Room at the library
  • Write down all of the books that your child reads or that you read to your child. Remember to include stories that your child hears at library story times, in preschool - any and all types of books count!
  • When you fill out 100 books, bring back the completed log to the library and we will give you another one. Each child will receive a sticker to show their progress, and a star on our wall to mark it as well.
  • If you read just 4 books a week, your child will have read 1,000 books in 5 years!

Any child who completes our 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten Program will receive a certificate and a Party to celebrate their achievement!
