What is 1000 Books Before Kindergarten?
Do you love to read together as a family? Do you have a child who hasn’t entered Kindergarten yet?
Come join our new early childhood reading club!
Middle Country Public Library is participating in the national initiative known as 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten. This initiative promotes child and parent bonding through reading with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. Research has shown that children who are read to at an early age are more successful and have bigger vocabularies when they enter school. This club is a fun and interactive way to reach 1,000 books before your child enters school. Middle Country Public Library has designed 1000 Book Backpacks for you to check out. Each backpack contains 10 books that are appropriate for young children. If you checkout and read all 100 backpacks, you will have read 1,000 different titles with your family! Children receive prizes for every 100 books read!
