The St. Clair County Library System announces its participation in the "1000 Books Before Kindergarten" program!

"1,000 Books Before Kindergarten" is a widespread challenge to read one thousand books (any books; repeats are okay) to your newborn, infant, and/or toddler before they begin kindergarten—and we're kicking off our own challenge! Log each book you read into the Beanstack tracker to earn some milestone rewards, including a backpack just in time for school. Each branch will also have a backdrop available upon request to take commemorative photos at each milestone.

Remember: 1,000 is just a number. The real goal is to build reading aloud into your regular routine, then let the magic of storytelling do the rest. Happy reading!

Note: If you've already made an SCCLS Beanstack account for the library's summer reading program. You do not need to create a new one. Just select the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten challenge from your home page.

Please contact your local branch for more information.
