Welcome to 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten!
Solano County Library invites families with children ages 0–5 to join a fun reading challenge: read 1,000 books before your child starts kindergarten!
Why it matters:
Reading with your child builds early literacy skills, boosts confidence, and creates special bonding moments.
How it works:
-
Read any book—print, ebook, or audiobook.
-
Repeating books and storytime books count too!
-
Log your books in the tracker from the library.
-
After every 100 books, visit the library for a special sticker.
-
At 1,000 books, your child will earn a free book and a certificate!
How to reach 1,000 books:
You can read at your own pace! Here are some ideas:
-
3 books a day or 20 books a week= 1 year
-
1 book a day or 7 books a week= 3 years
-
4 books a week = 5 years
Who can join?
Any child from birth to kindergarten. Siblings can join too!
