1,000 Books Before Kindergarten

Ready, Set, READ! Are you up for the challenge? Join parents and caregivers across the nation in a race to read 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten! A toddler’s brain creates up to two MILLION new connections every second and reading aloud is the best way to grow those connections. As a participant in this program, your child will receive a certificate for every 100 books read, a “book buddy” at 500 books, and special book bag when they reach 1,000 books. Stop by the library service desk to register and receive your first reading log.
