1000 Books Before Kindergarten. This is a free nation wide program that encourages parents to read 1000 books to their child/children before entering kindergarten. To participate stop by the Library and pick up a book bag, alphabet flash cards, and two books. Keep track of how many books are read to your child and once you have reached 500 you will receive a fidget toy and two more books, then once 1000 books are read the child receives two books, phonic flash cards, bookmark, dry erase marker and writing strip and a certificate.
