1000 Books Before Kindergarten
Have a preschooler in your family? Join this national initiative that helps children get ready for kindergarten by encouraging parents and families to read regularly to young children.
Come in to receive reading logs and a free book to get your young person started. Each time your family completes a reading log of 100 books, come in for a fresh log and a star to place in our Galaxy of Readers wall in the Children's Room. When your child reaches 500 and 1000 books, they'll receive another free book.
Why read 1,000 books before Kindergarten?
Reading high-quality books at home is one of the best ways to get your child ready for school. Reading 1,000 books sounds like a lot; but if you read just 3 picture books with your child every day, you will read over 1,000 books in a year!
If your child has a favorite book that they read over and over, that's great! And each time they read it, it counts towards that 1,000 book goal.
Rereading old favorites helps brains grow. Reading a book your child already knows strengthens connections in the brain, ensuring those connections stay put as your child continues to learn new things.
