1,000 Books Before Kindergarten

1kbbkThe Cedar Falls Public Library is proud to announce the launch of our 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program.  The program is part of a national literacy initiative to encourage parents and caregivers to read often to their children before they begin school. The program provides a small incentive at each 100-book milestone, and at the 200 and 1,000-book milestones, your child will receive a new book to keep. We will also have periodic graduation ceremonies to recognize children who finish the program.  Any child from birth until she/he enters kindergarten is eligible.

To register your child, stop by the youth desk at the library.  We’d love to get you started!

Book Discussion Groups

Youth Department staff lead two monthly book discussion groups, one for grades 3/4 and another for grades 5/6, during the school year (September-May).  Interested in joining?
