The 1000 Books Before Kindergarten is a pilot program being offered by the Hagen Ranch Road Branch of the Palm Beach County Library System. This program is a fun, free way to start your child on the path of success!
The program is designed to help parents and/or caregivers prepare their children for kindergarten. Read a book (any book) to your infant, toddler or preschooler. The goal is to read 1,000 books before your little one starts kindergarten. You can repeat favorite books, of course!
Register and receive your Welcome Packet for the program by emailing hrrcats@pbclibrary.org.
The Hagen Ranch Road Branch is located at:
14350 Hagen Ranch Road
Delray Beach 33446
Phone: 561-894-7500
We are also happy to send the Welcome Packet to a library branch that is more convenient for you.
There is also an app for 1000 Books Before Kindergarten, which provides reading lists and resources as well as an electronic method for keeping track of the books you have read. More information about this program can be found on the Resources page of the national program’s website: https://1000booksbeforekindergarten.org/resources/.
This pilot program was generously sponsored by the Friends of the Palm Beach County Library System. Happy reading!
