1000 Books Before Kindergarten
1000 Books before Kindergarten is a year-round reading program for children from birth until they start Kindergarten.

Reading aloud helps strengthen language skills and builds vocabulary - two important tools for learning to read. It also builds imagination and creativity. Sharing books with children promotes a life long love of books and reading. 

Register - Sign up at the circulation desk, if you need a library card, bring a photo id.

Track Reading - Log each book you read, you can read books more than once. 

Keep Reading - Don't stop at 1000! Keep reading, there's more learning ahead. 

3 Books a day for one year = 1,095 Books!

1 Book a day for three years = 1,095 Books
