1,000 Books Before Kindergarten is designed for children from birth through kindergarten to promote reading to newborns, infants, and toddlers as well as to encourage parent and child bonding through reading..
The goal is to read 1,000 books to your child before he or she starts kindergarten. If you read just one book a night, that’s 365 books in one year, 730 books in two years, and 1,095 books in three years!
To participate, visit our Beanstack page or the Beanstack app, enroll in the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten Challenge, and log your books.
Stop by any branch to receive a registration packet to get you started on your reading journey.
You will reach reading milestones and earn incentives during your journey to read 1,000 books before kindergarten. For every 100 Books you’ll earn a milestone sticker and a small prize from our treasure chest. Visit any St. Charles Parish Library location to collect these prizes.
When you complete the challenge, you’ll receive a certificate and be invited to our yearly party!
