Learning to read begins before your child starts school.

The 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten ongoing program encourages you to read 1,000 books to your child before they enter kindergarten.

Just read 3 books a day for 1 year and it will add up to over 1,000 books.

The guidelines are simple:

          • When you sign-up, you will receive a book log for 100 books.
          • Read a book (any book) to your child(ren).
          • Every time you finish a book, record the book on the book log, or on Beanstack (yes, you can repeat books).
          • Once you have completed your book log, come into the library to get the next book log.
          • At certain levels, you will be able to collect prizes.

This program has no end date except when your child enters kindergarten.

** If you have already started our 1000 Books Before Kindergarten program in-person, we encourage you to reach out to a Youth Librarian to help figure out where your child was previously at and continue their progress.

To get started, go to Youth Services or to BEANSTACK to register, and start reading today!
