YOUTH 

Kids reading a book with text: "1000 Books Before Kindergarten. Read it and Reap!"

1,000 Books Before Kindergarten - Any child that hasn’t started Kindergarten can sign up. This includes newborns, infants and/or toddlers. The goal is simple…to read 1,000 books before your little one starts Kindergarten – and yes, you can repeat books! After reading 1,000 books, your kiddo will receive an official book bag containing a special book and stuffed animal character. Contact us for more information.

Reader of the Month - We randomly choose someone 17 years old or younger who is signed up and actively involved in one of our programs, typically either our Summer Reading Program or from our Fall/Winter/Spring Reading BINGOs. Stay active and involved with our programs/library and your child just might be our next Reader of the Month!
