What a great goal! It's never to late to start, so...start now and read 500 books by the time they reach their 5th birthday.

Calvert Library’s 500 by Five initiative inspires Calvert’s children to read 500 books by 5 years old.

Track your child’s progress online, on the Beanstack app or on the 500 by Five paper log.
