1000 Books Before Kindergarten
Start your child’s reading journey early! This program encourages families to read 1000 books with their children before they enter Kindergarten.
How it works:
-
Track your child’s reading from ages 0–5 (or until the end of Kindergarten).
-
For every completed tracking sheet, bring it to the library and let your child choose a prize.
-
Once you reach 1000 books, your child will receive a grand prize that includes:
-
Books
-
Toys
-
A gift certificate for a free library card
-
Track your reading year-round!​​

Reading Dragons
Here there be dragons! Reading Dragons is a time-based reading challenge that encourages readers of all school ages to read and become dragon keepers!
How it works:
-
Four dragons will be released per month, with four stages for each dragon (egg, kid, teen, adult).
-
Keep track of their reading time with the handy reading tracker (available soon!) in 30-minute increments. You can come in after every 30-minute increment, or collect a whole bunch at a time!
-
These cards are a symbol of accomplishment, and they can be used to play games with other Reading Dragons participants at various programs we will have throughout the year.
