The program is as simple as it sounds: read 1000 books to your child before they start Kindergarten. There is no timeline or end date other than the child entering Kindergarten. You will be surprised at how quickly you’ll reach the 1000 books read point going at a natural pace for both you and your child.
To join the program, a parent or caregiver registers the child in the Children’s Department Monday-Friday 9am-6pm and Children’s Department staff will give them all the required materials and information they need. Parents will get support from the library along the way with help choosing books to read and early literacy tips. There will be some rewards along the way for children, including a book prize at the end. For more information contact the Children’s Department at 409-643-5983.
