1000 Books Before Kindergarten
1000 Books Before Kindergarten is an exciting program that encourages parents and child interaction and promotes reading through sharing books together.

Infants, toddlers, and preschoolers are eligible to participate by registering at Youth Services. Participants will receive rewards along their reading journey and we will hold a graduation ceremony for those that finish at the end of each school year.
Registration is required.
