Benefits the West End Library
Proceeds from this fundraiser are used for new materials, programming and summer reading programs.
1000 Books Before Kindergarten Families are invited to join the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program. This nationwide challenge encourages parents and caregivers to regularly read aloud to their children. By reading just one book a night, families can reach the 1,000-book goal in three years and provide their children essential early literacy skills. Research shows that the most reliable predictor of school success is being read to during early childhood. Most importantly, sharing books with children promotes a lifelong love of books and reading. There are two ways to record your books. Download the 1000 Books Before Kindergarten free app or stop in the library for paper log forms. The library is here to help you and your child reach the 1000 book goal!
