Introducing 1000 Books by Kindergarten!

Did you know that if you read one book a day to your child for three years, you would have read over 1,000 books! Helping your child develop pre-reading skills are the first steps to becoming a successful reader. Your goal over the pre-school years should be to help your child acquire language and the meaning of the words they use. A great tool for this is reading together. Use our web app to help you keep track of the books you've read to your child and/or as a source for age-appropriate books recommended by our children's librarians. Click on the image to learn more.

Winter Reading Club

In celebration of Dr. Seuss's 110th birthday we're going to read 1 book, 2 books, red books, blue books.

Starting Monday, February 24 you can join us for this crazy Winter Reading Club. During the month of March, if you are a pre-reader then your goal will be 10 books read with your grownup. If you are a new reader, 5 books will be your goal. For those who are confident readers, 2 books on your reading level will be required.

When you reach your goal you will receive your ticket to our "Suess-tastic" magic show featuring the "Magic of Amore" on Friday, March 28 at 5 p.m.
