    1,000 Books Before Kindergarten

    Help prepare your children for kindergarten through the world of books! Creating a daily habit of reading together is a fun and easy way to interact with young children while helping build early literacy skills.

    This program invites parents and caregivers of children ages 0-5 to read 1,000 books to them during their first five years of life.

    How to participate

    • Pick up a tracking sheet at the library or print one from home.
    • Read to your child and mark off every book read.
    • Bring the tracking sheet to the library for a sticker and prize at every 100 book milestone.
    • Upon completion of the program each child receives a free book and their name will be added to our 1,000 books display.

    Does reading 1,000 books seem challenging?

    We promise it's not as hard as you think!

    • 3 books a day for 1 year- 1,095 books
    • 1 book a day for 3 years - 1,095 books

    For questions or more information about this program, please call or contact the Children's Librarian.
