The 1000 Books Before Kindergarten App is now live in the app store, available for both Apple and Android products. The app is a convenient way for you to track your children’s reading progress throughout the program. Synced with Google books, it is now easier than ever to search and add books to your child’s collection. Started the program on paper? Never fear! Stop by your library and one of the friendly librarians will be happy to help catch the app up.

In the last several months,  Micah B., Sam H., Noah G., Jaxon C., Abbey B., Aubrey H., and Cara M. finished their goal of reading 1,000 books before kindergarten! One of the best ways to encourage learning is to spend time with your kids each day sharing stories. If you have a child who has not yet entered 5K, consider signing them up for our 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten Club.

So far in 2015, 9 super kids have finished their goal of reading 1,000 books before kindergarten!

If you have a child who has not yet entered 5K, consider signing them up for our 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten Club. Reading with your child will build a solid foundation of pre-reading skills that will ensure your child enters 5K ready to succeed in school!

April 12-18 is National Library Week, but Culver's has decided to celebrate libraries all month long! The home of the Butter Burger is once again sponsoring a coloring program all month long.
