The 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program is designed to help parents/caregivers prepare their children for one of life’s big milestones: Kindergarten! A number of research projects have proven over and over again that children get ready to read years before they begin their formal education. The most effective way to get your child ready to learn is to read to them. Parents can help their children get ready to read through five simple activities: talking, singing, reading, writing, and playing. You and your child can enjoy these activities throughout the day – at home, in the car, or anywhere you and your child spend time together.
Come in to the library to pick up your child's log, free bag, and program overview! There are prizes and incentives for the little ones and tips and information for caregivers. Whether you have a newborn or a preschool student, there is something for everyone in this program.
