Parents and caregivers are the first education providers during the 0-5 early critical years. The 1000 Books Before Kindergarten challenge is a simple  and fun program that promotes reading to  newborns, infants, and toddlers and encourages parent and child bonding through reading. This challenge is a simple, yet fun approach to establishing strong early literacy skills and helps young children gain the confidence necessary to become strong readers.

The concept is simple: read a book, any book to your child, with the goal of reading 1,000 before kindergarten.  Each participant will receive a special passport and may have their passports “stamped” for each 100 books read.  

Pick up your packet when you register at our Children’s Reference Desk.  Registration will start on Saturday, September 07, 2024.

This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Library Kapolei.

Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service for effective communication, or a modification of policies or procedures to participate in a program, service, or activity should contact library staff as soon as possible. Advance requests 48 hours or more before the event are encouraged, but not required. All programs are subject to change.
