1000 Books Before Kindergarten 1000 Books Before Kindergarten (1KBBK) is an early literacy initiative that encourages families to read to their young children. How can you break it down? 1 book a day for 3 years = 1000
3 books a day for one year = 1000
10 books a week for two years = 1000
You can repeat books as many times as you'd like, and storytime books count too! After registering below, visit the Children's Room to get your coloring log sheets to track books read. When you complete 500 books, come into the Children's room for a prize and the next coloring sheet log. |

Thank you for your patience as we work to restore access to the library’s lower level.
On November 19, a failed water heater caused significant damage, requiring closure of the entire lower level for water removal and extensive cleanup, including flooring, walls, and damaged furniture. We’ve just received insurance approval and selected a contractor for the restoration work. Concurrently, with the support of the Friends of the Library, staff have been reviewing the Johnson Meeting Room and Children’s Room to explore potential improvements during construction.
We look forward to a refreshed and improved lower level when we reopen! |

Peeps Show Postponed We’re a bit tight on space this season, so the marshmallow masterpieces will have to stay tucked safely in their sugary studios for now. But, stay busy brainstorming big, fluffy, glittery ideas because the Peeps Show will return next year! |
