The Baldwin Borough Public Library is pleased to announce it is beginning a new reading program for young children: 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten. This is an ongoing program and caregivers can register anytime the library is open.
The concept of this program is simple. It is designed for caregivers to read books to their newborns, infants, toddlers or preschoolers. The goal is to have read 1,000 books before their child starts kindergarten.
Reading just one book a night, caregivers will have read:
• 365 books in a year
• 730 books in two years
• 1,095 books in three years
Once caregivers register at the library, they will receive a packet to keep track of the number of books that are read. There will be milestone prizes awarded at different levels.
When a child has read 1,000 books, he or she will receive a final prize and certificate. Books read at the library, school and daycare count and books can be repeated.
For more information, contact Dolores Colarosa, youth services program coordinator, at 412-885-2255 or colarosad@einetwork.net.
