​​From the Director's Desk:

Registrations, school supply lists, new clothes... your older kiddos are getting excited for the new school year!  But what about your Pre K littles?  Join 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten to continue their summer reading momentum while fostering a love of books and reading!

1,000 Books Before Kindergarten is simple: read with your child, log books, and earn prizes!  Studies show that children should hear at least 1,000 books from birth to age 5 to build the pre-reading skills they need to succeed in school.  Feel free to read any book (you can even repeat titles), and be sure to count any book being read to your child (including by teachers and siblings)!

Visit the front desk for logs, or download them here.  Every time your child finishes 100 books, stop into the library to redeem their prize!​
