1000 books before kindergarten program sponsored by the Friends of the Putnam County District Library

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Putnam County District Library's 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program is a fun way to start your child on the path to success. Just follow these steps:

  1. Register
  2. Track Your Reading: track the books you read with your child by using Beanstack.
  3. +Every Book Counts: Even if your child wants to hear the same book again and again, you can count it each time. You can also count books your child reads at Story Time, in daycare or preschool, or with a friend or family member, as long as your child listens to the entire book.
  4. 100 -  Book Milestones: Each time you read 100 books recorded in Beanstack you earn a book.
  5. 1000 Books: You did it! You will be invited to a special celebration in your honor with other 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten graduates.
