The goal remains the same: Read 1,000 books with your newborn, infant, toddler, or preschooler before they begin kindergarten. This fall, participants can look forward to new, keepsake-worthy incentives for every 100 books read, plus a special “1,000 Book Graduate” photo to celebrate your child’s reading journey!  Learn how to get started in this free program by stopping at the Children’s desk or check out the website.
