The 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten library program encourages families and caregivers to read 1,000 books with their young children before they enter kindergarten. Visit the Simsbury Public Library Children's Room to recieve a Welcome Bag with a book, printed program information, and a log coloring sheet for tracking the first 100 books read. You can also track your books here in READsquared.As your child reaches each 100 books read milestone, he or she will receive recognition in the form of a badge here in READsquared. Be sure to visit the library in person to receive a book and a sticker to celebrate each time they've read 100 books in the program. When a child completes the program, he/she will receive a certificate of completion and can have thier picture taken for the virtual Wall of Fame.
