Families are invited to join the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program at the St. Marys Community Public Library.

The 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program is a nationwide challenge that encourages parents and caregivers to regularly read aloud to their children. By reading just one book a night, families can reach the 1,000-book goal in three years and provide their children with essential early literacy skills.

Read a book, any book, to your child, age 0 to Kindergarten, with the goal of reading 1,000 before kindergarten.

To join the challenge, pick up a form at the library or install the Reader Zone app or log in at readerzone.com then use the following code:
