1,000 Books Before Kindergarten – Beanstack
Ongoing – Register and Log Here
1,000 Books Before Kindergarten is a national program with a very simple goal: to create lifetime readers starting at a very early age. Reading with your child benefits development and allows you to create a family bond. Sign up to start reading and recording your books with your little one (birth-Kindergarten) – it’s never too early! Your child will receive badges and stickers along the way and a prize and certificate when they reach the goal. Reading the same book again and again (as children often want to do) counts!


Check back soon for winter programs! Have a safe and happy holiday!
