1000 Books Before Kindergarten

One thousand books? That seems like way too many, right? Not at all. You got this. 
​It doesn't matter if your child is three, or just three months - there's no better time to start than now! 
​

Reading helps build social and emotional skills, sparks creativity and imagination, promotes bonding, and helps kids do well overall in school. Take that motivation, open one book, and get started. And remember, 1000 is just a number.
The goal is to work reading aloud into your regular routine, and let the magic of stories do the rest. 

TAKE THE FIRST STEP

​Visit the library to receive your 1000 Books Before Kindergarten Starter-Kit. 
Each Starter Kit includes an official 1000 Books binder, instructions, and the first section of your reading log. 


You can also find the 1000 Books Before Kindergarten on the app store. 
​
If you prefer, you can use the app to log your reading on your mobile device.

Stop in with each completed log section for a prize and to receive your next log! Prizes are given at 250, 500, 750, and 1000 books.

Once you have reached 1,000 books, come in and show us all the books you've read, and receive your official KPL 1000 Books Before Kindergarten T-Shirt as well as claim your spot on our 1000 Books Wall of Fame!
