1,000 Books Before Kindergarten
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.
Grow A Reader
We believe in helping little ones develop the skills need to become successful readers. We want to welcome babies and their caregivers to the library by giving you the tools to get started on the path to reading success! Stop by the Children’s Department to pick up an Early Literacy Kit swag bag for all newborns up to 12 months old. Each kit includes items to reinforce the early literacy practices: playing, singing, reading, writing, and talking. Kits are available while supplies last; 1 kit per family
