1,000 BOOKS BEFORE KINDERGARTEN

Learning to read begins before your children start school.  It is never too early to read, sing, and play with your little ones.  The 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten reading program encourages you to read 1,000 books to your child before he or she begins Kindergarten.  Understanding that letters make sounds, sounds make words, and words make stories and songs will help your child gain important pre-reading skills. 

Hamilton East Public Library wants to make sure all children are prepared for a lifetime of reading, but we can't do it without you.  You can follow the link here or below to register or ask a staff member about "1000 Books Before Kindergarten" today!"

 

BARKS & BOOKS — This program is for all ages and is held at both the Noblesville Library and the Fishers Library.   No registration is required. Would you like to read to a dog or just pet a dog and get doggie kisses? Love on a Leash will have local volunteers here with their registered therapy dogs. Reading to dogs helps kids build self-esteem and confidence.  We also offer a Waggin' Tales Program each month at the Fishers Library.  Please check our program calendar for dates and times.
