1,000 Books Before Kindergarten
Help prepare your children for kindergarten through the world of books! Creating a daily habit of reading together is a fun and easy way to interact with young children while helping build early literacy skills.
This program invites parents and caregivers of children ages 0-5 to read 1,000 books to them during their first five years of life.
How to participate
- Pick up a tracking sheet at the library.
- Read to your child and mark off every book read.
- Bring the tracking sheet to the library for a sticker and prize at every 100 book milestone.
- Upon completion of the program each child receives a free book and their name will be added to our 1,000 books display.
Does reading 1,000 books seem challenging?
We promise it's not as hard as you think!

Pages & Paws with Farnham
Reading is more fun with a friend—especially one with paws! Join us for Pages & Paws with Farnham, a special reading program where children can read aloud to Farnham, a lovable and friendly therapy dog. Reading to a non-judgmental listener like Farnham helps young readers build confidence, improve fluency, and develop a love of books in a relaxed and supportive environment. Perfect for emerging and reluctant readers!
Readers in grades K-5 can register for a 10 minute one-on-one reading session with Farnham to practice their reading skills. A guardian must be present with each child during the session. Please arrive 5 minutes before your session begins so we can stay on schedule!
Stuffed animal sleepovers are special evening storytimes where children ages 3-6 can leave a stuffie to participate in an exclusive sleepover party at the library!
