Does your family have what it takes to tackle our Spring Reading Challenge?

Kids ages 4-11 can work with their families to take part in our Family Reading Challenge to get everyone reading for fun prizes!

During the 11 weeks of the challenge, families just have to meet the reading requirements for at least 6 weeks to earn prizes for the participating family members. Families can complete the challenge together as a group, individually, or a combination of both. Reading Challenge sheets will be available starting February 23rd.

1,000 Books Before Kindergarten Program Relaunch
May 15 @ 9:30 am – 6:00 pm

Have an infant, toddler, or preschooler that you want to excel in reading? Join our 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program to develop a strong literacy foundation for your child by reading 1,000 books before they start kindergarten.

It’s easier than you think—one book a night is 365 books, and re-reading a favorite book counts each time you read it! Work through the program at a pace that works best for your family, with the Library encouraging you and your child on your journey at the completion of every 100 books.

Stop by the Library to pick up a program packet for your child at the relaunch of this program starting May 15th!
