1,000 Books Before Kindergarten is a year-round program at OFL that promotes reading to infants,  toddlers and preschoolers.  It encourages parent/caregiver and child bonding through reading.  While 1,000 books may seem like a lot, remember reading just one book to your child a night for a year is already 365! Don’t forget that repeats count, so if your child has a favorite book that you read together over and over, each time you read it, it counts!

Earn Cool Prizes with Your Child!

We offer incentives to children who reach certain reading milestones.  For every 100 books read and recorded the child will receive a prize.  To claim your prizes, submit your child's completed reading logs to library staff.

And When You Reach 1,000 Books...

For children, ages birth through Pre-K.
