1,000 Books Before Kindergarten

1,000 Books Before Kindergarten is a nationwide program to encourage reading with children. This program is for babies, toddlers, and children who have not started kindergarten yet. For ever book read, a child or caregiver fills in a circle. Every 100 circles are turned in for fun prizes, including a picture book, a puppet, and a tee shirt. Once 1,000 books are read, the child receives a special certificate and gets his/her picture taken for the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten hall of fame book which is on display at the library.
