Program Overview

Read a book to your infant, toddler or preschooler. The goal is to read 1,000 books before your child starts kindergarten. Does it sound hard? If you read 1 book a night, you will have read 365 books in a year. If you consider that most children start kindergarten at around age 5, you have more time than you think, so get started! Reach the goal and help your child build the skills needed for future school and lifelong success. (You do not have to read 1,000 different books. If your child has a favorite book you read over and over count each time read as 1 book.)

How to Participate

1. Sign up your child on the page below or at the library. Stop by the library and pick up your starter bag.

2. Keep track of the books you and your child read together. Make a record however is convenient for you: tally marks, titles on a  reading sheet (linked below or available at the library) or on the 1000 Books apple or android app (linked below).

3. For every 100 books you read together, come into the library for some stickers and to sign our 1000 Book wall! Special prizes earned at the 300, 600 & 1,000 books read.
