A reading program for children ages birth to Kindergarten! The concept is simple, the rewards are priceless. The goal is to read 1,000 books before starting Kindergarten. Get started by reading a book — any book! You can even reread the same book again and again!
Track your child’s reading and earn prizes to build your own storytime kit including a Hatch Public Library tote bag, bubbles, egg shaker, book, and scarf. After completing the program, a book will be added to the library’s collection in your child’s honor!
One thousand books? That seems like way too many, right? Not at all. You've got this! It doesn't matter if your child is three or just three months - there's no better time to start than now! If you read just one book a night, you can finish in three years. Read 3 books a night, and you can complete the program in just one year! Stop by the library to register your child and receive your tote bag to get started!
