1,000 Books Before Kindergarten
Read a book (any book) to your newborn, infant and toddler. The goal is to have read 1,000 books before your child starts kindergarten. Yes, you can repeat books. Does it sound hard? Not really, if you think about it. If you read just 3 books a night, you will have read more than 1000 books in a year.
Sign up at the Children's Desk for this exciting program and receive a free book bag donated by LUSO Federal Credit Union as well as prizes for each 100 books you have read!
