1000 Books Before Kindergarten

1000 Books Before Kindergarten ties into the nationwide, early literacy program 1000 Books Before Kindergarten that will help your child be ready for school. Parents of kids from birth to age 5 are encouraged to participate.

After parents or caregivers read aloud 100 books their kid will receive a free book from Tazewell County Public Library. Read 1000 books and earn a Super Reader Cape, handmade especially for your child! Reading aloud to kids is the number one best way to prepare them for school and a lifetime of learning.

Participate in this nationwide effort to read aloud and gear up your child for success! This program is endorsed by Tazewell County Public Schools, Head Start and the Children’s Reading Foundation of Appalachia.
