1,000 Books Before Kindergarten (Pre-K)

1,000 Books Before Kindergarten is a fun way to help prepare your child for Kindergarten. For every book you read (yes, repeats count!), your child can color in a shell on the coloring sheet. In addition, anytime you sing a song, do a fingerplay, read a poem, etc., your child can color in a shell for each activity!

Participating is easy:

Sign up (or log in) online or in any library branch.
Color in a shell on the coloring sheet for every book read or Early Literacy Moment shared.
Take your log to your local branch to receive your next log and incentive.
