📚100! WELL DONE!!📚

🌟Keep it up! You’re on your way to 1,000 Books before Kindergarten!!🌟

1,000 Books Before Kindergarten is a program designed to help parents prepare their children for one of life’s big milestones: Kindergarten.

Come to the Library, see Ms. Arlene and register your child for a program that promotes literacy. Each child will receive a log book for each 100 books.

One of the best ways to encourage learning is to spend time sharing books each and every day. Reading together helps develop important reading skills that provide a solid reading foundation which is key to school success. Plus, reading together is fun and a great way to bond and relax.
