Kids
Reading Programs
The Library offers two year-round programs to encourage reading for children ages 0 through 8th grade.
For ages 0 through preschool
Reading aloud to your child is the best way to nurture their language and brain development, foster a lifelong love of reading, and prepare them for reading and writing success in school and beyond.
The concept is simple and the rewards are priceless. Read any book to your baby, toddler, or preschooler. The goal is to have read 1,000 books before your child starts kindergarten. If you read just 1 book a night, you will have read about 365 books in a year. That’s 730 books in two years and 1,095 books in three years.
And now you can easily track your child’s reading journey through Beanstack. Start today!
For grades K through 8th grade
500 BOOKS BEFORE HIGH SCHOOL
Challenge yourself to read or listen to any books of your choosing to complete the goal of reading 500 Books Before High School. Along the way, you will earn small tokens of success, a certificate, and a free book.
