Read 1000 Books! 

Our library has a new program that encourages families to read 1,000 books with their children before they enter kindergarten. 

Parents: You can create an account for yourself first and then you can add additional accounts for each of your children. That way you will have the ability to easily monitor your child's activity without having to login as each child.
