1000 Books Before Kindergarten banner

1,000 Books Before Kindergarten is a nationwide challenge that encourages parents and caregivers to regularly read aloud to their children. By reading just one book a night, families can reach the 1,000-book goal in three years while providing children essential early literacy skills.

If your child has already started the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten challenge either on paper or using a different app, our staff can transition your progress into baycountylibrary.beanstack.org so you can keep going from your current spot. Just contact your branch or email us at bclsbeanstack@baycountylibrary.org.
