1000 Books Before Kindergarten is a reading challenge for young children and their families. Reading aloud is one of the best ways to encourage early literacy and a love of reading in young children, and it's never too early to start!
How does it work?
Read! Read together at home, in the park, upside down, under the blankets--read anywhere and everywhere. Keep track of the books you read together by logging each title and author. Because rereading is an important part of children's reading development, you may count the same book more than once.
You'll earn digital badges for every 100 books you read together, and you can come into the library to get a sticker, bookmark, or other prize. We'll have a special storytime and party for our readers every May to celebrate.
