1,000 Books to Read Before Kindergarten

There’s no rush –

the program ends when your child finishes 1,000 books or they enter kindergarten, whichever comes first. One thousand books may seem like a lot, but if you read just three stories a day with your child, you will reach that goal in about a year! More importantly, you’ll have created and shared many special moments along the way.

To participate follow the steps below:

Register for the program by telephone (631-499-0888) using registration code CKC1000.
Read together.
Write the titles you and your child read together on your 1,000 books reading log. You may read a title more than once. Every time your child attends a storytime, you may also use that title towards your count
Each time you finish 100 books, bring your sheet to the Library. Your child will receive a reward, have their photo taken and receive the next 100 book sheet, until you reach 1,000 books read.
When you finish 1,000 books, your child will receive a special reward!
