At the Calhoun County Library, our program called 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten promotes the importance of reading 1,000 books to your toddler before they start school. This may seem like a daunting task,but you’d be surprised how easily it can be accomplished. Bedtime stories, reading in the car, and even reading the same book over and over counts towards your 1,000 books!
Reading at an early age promotes positive brain functionality and cognitive behaviors. As an incentive for our community of infants and toddlers, we have implemented 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten. Whether your child wants to read 1,000 different books or the same book 1,000 times, it counts! There's no better time to start reading than now! If you read just one book a night, you will have read 365 books in a year. That's 730 books in 2 years and 1095 books in 3 years!
To sign up for 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten, come visit the library to receive your reading log and have your child’s picture taken for our milestone walls. For every 100 books your child reads, he will be able to come into the library, enjoy a confetti party, get a treat, and move his picture up on the milestone walls.. If you cannot make it into the library to register, you can sign up online at https://calhouncountylibrary.beanstack.org/reader365.
We look forward to celebrating every 100 books with your child and moving his picture on the milestone walls throughout the library. When your child reaches 1,000 books, we will display his picture on the 1,000 Books wall at the front desk so that everyone can see his accomplishment!
