Wherever you are on your early literacy journey, come celebrate our 500 by 5 program participants with us! We will have a special storytime, get creative with crafts, and have a dance party!

No matter whether you have completed the program or are just getting started, we want to celebrate early literacy with you! Reading with your child helps to get them ready for school, increase vocabulary and speech skills, improve logical thinking, and encourage a love of learning. 

500 books by age 5 is just: 

One book per day for two years 

OR 

Weekly library storytime from birth to age five

OR

Two bedtime books each night for one year

No matter how you accomplish it, progressing towards 500 books is a fantastic feat worth celebrating!

Please register your children only, caregivers do not need to register themselves.
