1000 Books Before Kindergarten


1000 Books Reading Challenge banner

1000 Books Before Kindergarten is an early literacy program that encourages parents and caregivers to read aloud to their children before they start kindergarten. Reading aloud helps build important literacy skills, sparks creativity and imagination, and promotes a lifelong love of books and reading! Read a book — any book — to your child. Audiobooks, e-books, and books in other languages count, too! Make it a daily activity. Read 1000 books together before your child starts kindergarten and earn prizes as you go!

Register online through Beanstack to track your progress, or pick up a paper log in the Children’s Room! More details about this program are available on the library website.
