How does 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten work?
· Register Online Here: You can register your child for the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program online or at UCPL anytime between birth and kindergarten.
· Track Your Reading: Log every book you read with your child here.
· Show Us Your Reading Logs and Pick up Your Prizes: Each time you and your child finish reading 100 books, visit the library with your completed reading log (we can look you up in READsquared). You'll receive your milestone sticker to add to the UCPL Reader Wall of Fame! You'll receive a notification from READSquared when you have a prize waiting to be picked up.
· Reach 1,000 Books and Keep on Reading: When you and your child reach 1,000 books, your child will receive a free book to keep for their home library, a certificate of completion and a place on our Reader Wall of Fame. Your child can also have their picture taken and featured on UCPL's social media as a 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten Super Reader! This is a great accomplishment, but don't stop! Keep reading with your child daily for even more benefits.
