A new program, 1000 books before Kindergarten, at Robert J. Kleberg Public Library is designed to promote fun family reading in our community. The program offers 100 different backpacks, each containing 10 carefully selected fiction and non fiction books, that families can check out and enjoy at home.

The public library reached out to Rowan Ashby, as one of their long time patrons and volunteers, to help with shelving needs for the program. Rowan developed his “Readers are Leaders” Eagle Scout project to research shelving options, gather donations to purchase shelving, and recruit volunteers for shelf construction. His project created shelving space in the children’s area to make room for the new program.

Rowan encourages everyone in our area to go visit our public library this summer and learn about the wonderful literacy programs they offer to keep kids and adults reading all summer long!

Why join the Robert J. Kleberg Public Library's Summer Reading Program???

It is a fun way to keep children and families reading all summer long! Participants sign up through Beanstack and log books or reading time they complete. The more you read the more tickets you earn to enter prize raffles for fun rewards like Yoto Box and other cool prizes. Along the way, families can also enjoy library events, activities, and special programs throughout the summer.
