1,000 Books Before Kindergarten is a program to help jump start your child in reading and introduce them to a lifetime of love for books. A few quick answers to some questions you may not have known about the program:

Who can sign-up?
The program is open to any child who has not yet begun kindergarten.


How does it work?
   Register:  Stop by the Prairie du Chien library to register and pick up your child’s information folder.
   Track your reading:  Every time you read a book with your child, mark off a shape on your reading log. 
   Show us your log:  Turn in your completed reading log to the Prairie du Chien Library and pick up the next log.
Keep going:  Keep track of your reading until you reach 1,000 books. When you turn in your final reading log, your child will receive a free book or prize to keep!

What books count?
All books read aloud to your child count, including:
  • Books they have read before (repetition is good!)
  • Books read at library storytimes
  • Books read at daycare or preschool
  • Books read by an older sibling
  • Books from the library, from home, from the doctor’s waiting room, etc.
