This program is for children age 0-6. It encourages families to read 1,000 books with their children before they enter kindergarten. 

 Your child can join our "1,000 Books Before Kindergarten" Goal Board with their reading progress!

You may choose to register here or come to the Children's Room for a packet with a paper log and instructions. 

After logging your first 100 books (on paper or online), bring your child in to have their photo taken for our library goal board. Your child's photo will move up the goal board after every 100 books logged. 

When they reach 1,000 books they will earn a Henry Carter Hull Library "I Read 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten" tote bag. 

Participants may also select a free book from our book sale after every 100 books logged. 

Questions? Please come to the Children's Room. We are happy to help. 

Happy reading!

Read & Bead is back, with a twist!

When you register, you will receive a BINGO card, brag tag, chain, and enough beads to last you a month. For every day that you read (on your own or with an adult) for at least 20 minutes, you can add a bead to your necklace. You can also earn special beads and an additional brag tag each month by completing the BINGO card activities. 

At the end of each month, call or email us to select your special beads & Brag Tag and to schedule a time to pick up your supplies for the next month.  

This program will run from June 12th to August 14th. Each child will be able to earn 1 bead for every day they read for at least 20 minutes, plus 3 additional Brag Tags, and special beads earned from Read & Bead BINGO.  

Once you've earned 60 points, for 60 days of summer reading,  you'll receive a completion certificate you can print and share!

Call The Children's Room with any questions.
