The concept is simple, the rewards are priceless. Read a book (any book) to your newborn, infant, and/or toddler. The goal is to have read 1,000 books (yes you can repeat books) before your precious one starts kindergarten.

Keep track of the titles of the books that you read with your child.  Make a record of what you are reading in a spiral notebook, on our convenient reading log sheets, online, or by whatever method you want. The journal itself will make a great keepsake item for your precious child.    

If you are able to, make sure to keep a record of “any” book that is being read to your child. This includes teachers and siblings.

Who can participate?

Any child from birth until he or she enters kindergarten

How long will it take?

It can take anywhere from two months to two years as it is a self-paced program and will depend on how often you and your child read together.

How many of my children can join?

All of them! (provided they have not yet entered kindergarten)

How do you join?

Talk to a librarian over the phone, through our Facebook, or come in and visit us during our open hours!
