1000 Books Before Kindergarten

Tyson Library welcomes our young area residents to join our “1000 Books Before Kindergarten” program. This free program is easy to start and can actually be completed much faster than it may seem at first. Reading just one book a day gets you 365 in one year, after all. And, you can repeat books!

 

Each time your child reaches a new milestone, you can bring them and their tracking sheet in to get a certificate, sticker, and a prize!

We have tracking sheets available for pick up at our check out desk, or you can download them from the links below. Each time you complete a book just color in one train car, or place a stamp or sticker there. 

Select the tracking sheet your young reader needs next to download and print.

Excellence in Reading Program

Mensa for Kids strives to promote a love of reading in kids and teens. To do this they offer an Excellence in Reading Program that will reward students with a t-shirt and certificate for reading through one of their grade appropriate lists. Tyson Library wants to promote this opportunity made available to children and teens and encourage them to participate.

If you have any questions about this program you can learn more on the Mensa for Kids website https://www.mensaforkids.org/achieve/excellence-in-reading/ or contact our Youth Services Librarian Aly at aly@tysonlibrary.org.
