1,000 Books Before Kindergarten
We’ve moved our program to our ReadSquared app! This is the same platform we use for our Summer Reading program. Simply sign up and record the titles of the books as you read – speak to a librarian about how to easily record all the books you and your little one have previously read!

Complete the Club
Read and record 1,000 Books before your child starts Kindergarten!
Remember: any book read to your child counts, including books from story times or nursery school, even books your child has read before!
One thousand books may seem like a lot, but if you read just one book a night, you’ll meet your goal in less than 3 years. If you read three books a night, you could reach your goal in just one year! Ask our friendly staff for suggestions—we’re here to help you on your journey to 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten!
