1,000 Books Before Kindergarten is a free program that promotes reading and early literacy skills while encouraging bonding. The goal is to read 1,000 books before your child starts kindergarten to help your child prepare for one of life’s biggest milestones!
Registration for 1,000 Books is through Beanstack allowing you to start tracking immediately from anywhere! You may repeat titles as many times as you can stand. You can include books read in storytimes, our Story Walk, bedtimes, story podcasts, and more! There will be incentives at 100, 250, 500, and 750 books read. Upon completion of the program, kids will receive a free book!
