Can you and your little one read 1000 books before they start kindergarten? It’s not as difficult as you think! Yes, reading your child the same book over and over counts–it’s a great way to build reading skills. And reading just one book a day gets you to 365 in a year, which means you’ll be to 1000 in a bit over 3 years. Read several books a day and it might not even take one year!

Track your progress on our logs or online. Get a sticker for every 100 books you read. When you reach 1000, your little one will be added to our Wall of Fame and get a free t-shirt.

Sign up at any library location or click the button to the right to sign up online. 

While we’re closed to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, you can download and print our logs to track books you are reading, or keep a tally. Bring the total in any form to a library when we reopen to claim your stickers, and maybe your finishing prize! We hope to add a lot of new faces to the wall.
