1000 Books Before Kindergarten

Press Release - August 24, 2020

1000 Books Before Kindergarten

The Lebanon Public Library is excited to present the 1000 Books Before Kindergarten program.  This program begins September 1, 2020 and is open to any child from birth until they enter Kindergarten.  1000 Books has been launched in libraries across the country in an effort to increase the development of early literacy skills in young children.  Reading aloud helps develop children’s language skills and imaginations.  1000 Books Before Kindergarten is a fun, free way to start your child on the path to success.  Parents and caregivers can register at the library to receive a startup kit that includes a reusable book bag, reading log and board book.  For every 100 books read, the child will receive a sticker to put in their reading log.  For every 200 books read the child will receive a small prize.  When they have read 1,000 books they will receive a new hardback book for their home library.  The program is self-paced and could take a few months or a few years.  No library card is necessary to participate.
