This program encourages families to read 1,000 books with their children before they enter kindergarten.
1. Register: Register here or complete the registration form and return it to the Children’s desk.
2. Track Your Reading: Fill in a circle or write down each book you read with your child on your reading record or track your child’s progress online
3. Every Book Counts: Even if your child wants to hear the same book again and again, you can count it each time. You can also count the books your child hears in storytime, in childcare or preschool, or with a friend or family member, as long as your child listens to the entire book.
4. 100-Book Milestones: Each time you read 100 books, bring your reading record to the library to receive a special reward. Take home a new reading record for your next 100 books.
5. 1,000 Books: You did it! Come celebrate at the library, see your child’s name placed on the 1,000 Book Wall of Fame, and receive a free book and tote bag.
6. Keep on Reading: Don’t stop at 1,000! Keep on reading together; there’s more learning ahead!
