By reading 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten, you are taking advantage of the time when your child’s brain is developing fastest and laying the foundation for future success. Establishing a daily reading routine with your child–even when they are a baby–will lead to a love of reading and strong bonds between child and caregiver.
The Library is here to help! Track your progress to 1,000 books and we’ll support you along the way with book recommendations, literacy tips, tokens of achievements, and prizes for your home.
Give the child in your life a head start for years to come!
