Books for Kids

It’s a reading adventure for the whole family! Kids, Moms, Dads, Grandparents: read and log as many books as you can over the winter months and earn digital badges for taller & taller peaks! In the Library, see how far your family’s snowman can travel around the Children’s Room, and what heights it can reach!

WHO: All independent readers in grades K and up, including adults!

HOW: Register only one member for the Family Winter Reading program on Beanstack, and log ALL family books on that account or use the Beanstack Tracker App to register and log books. If you created a Summer Reading account you can reuse that to log-in and register for the Family Winter Reading program.

WHEN: The program runs from January 5th, 2019- March 20th, 2019

HAPPY READING!

1000 Books Before Kindergarten!

The concept is simple, the rewards are priceless. Read a book (any book) to your child. The goal is to have read 1,000 books (you may repeat books) before your little one starts kindergarten. If you read just 1 book a night, you will have read about 365 books in a year. If you consider that most children start kindergarten at around 5 years of age, you have more time than you think!

The key is perseverance. We will help to make it exciting with our special poster. Each time they reach a milestone, bring your child to the Library to pick up a sticker to fill in their tree!
List the titles or just the number of books you have read. Don’t forget to list books read to your child by others (sitters, teachers, grandparents) and watch the list grow!
