1000 Books Before Kindergarten
This reading program encourages families and caregivers to read 1,000 books with their young children before they enter kindergarten.
Studies have shown that families who start reading aloud to their children at birth help to strengthen their vocabulary – an important tool for beginning to learn to read when they enter kindergarten. Find out more: 1000booksbeforekindergarten.org/
As you reach your milestones in logging 100, 200, 300, etc. Please stop at the Children and Teen Services desk for a congratulatory sticker. When you reach 1,000 books, please stop in to choose a book to keep!
