1000 Books Before Kindergarten
Congratulations! You are about to embark on a fantastic, lifelong journey with your child. Together you will read 1,000 books before kindergarten. By committing to this journey, you will help your child gain pre-literacy skills that will prepare him/her for reading throughout their life. Read more about this national program.
How the program works:
You can visit College Hill (303-658-2606) or Irving Street (303-658-2306) to register in person and pick up your Welcome packet and first log, or you can download everything you need here. There's even also a mobile app for iPhone and Android where you can keep track of all your books (instructions here.) Follow these simple steps to participate in the program:
- Register your child online
- Download the Welcome packet and the first reading log (Books 1-100). After you've read 100 books, bring your completed log to Irving Street or College Hill to receive your Certificate of Achievement and sticker.
- Complete the rest of your reading logs and bring them to the library to be added to our database of participants and receive additional stickers for your certificate:
- Receive an invitation to a special party to mark the halfway point in your journey.
- Receive a free keepsake book in honor of your achievement.
