I Read 1000 Books Before Kindergarten
Come to sign up for the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten challenge! This is a nationwide program that is available at our own library! The concept is simple, the rewards priceless. Read books to your newborn, infant, and/or toddler, the goal is to have read 1,000 books before your precious one starts kindergarten. To sign up come to the library to pick up a reading log. Each child will receive an incentive for every 100 books read. When they reach 1,000 books they will get a certificate, a magnet, and you can take their picture in our special “I read 1,000 books before Kindergarten!” frame!
