For Parents
Want the best start for your little one? READ! Our 1000 Books Before Kindergarten Program is a fun way for you to ensure you are reading to your child on a regular basis.
Looking for information about reading levels for your beginning reader? Read more about the different types of leveling systems and how you can find “just right” books for your child (please note, the library does not level books in our collection).
**Read 4 books a week, and your child will have listened to 1,000 stories in five years.
**Read one book a day, and you could finish in less than three years.
**Read ten books per week, and you’ll blow away this challenge in less than two years!
We are excited to announce a new program for preschoolers called “1000 Books Before Kindergarten”! Research shows that reading books and sharing stories with your child is one of the best ways to help them enter school with the language skills they need to be ready to learn and grow. So all you need to do is pick up a log in the children’s area (or download and print one here!) and start checking off books! No need to write titles, just keep a tally on the log, and every 50 books your child will get stickers. At 1000, your child will receive a certificate and can add their name to our 1000 Books Before Kindergarten display.
Get Ready! Get Set! READ!
