The Hudson Public Library '1000 Books Before Kindergarten' club is a fun and exciting reading program for children ages 0-5 years. This program was developed to increase awareness of the importance of early literacy as well as encouraging parents to embrace their role as their child’s first teacher.
Each child will receive a folder with pages to record the books they read and information about early literacy. Each time a goal of recording 100 books is reached, children are encouraged to bring their reading log to the library to receive a prize celebrating their accomplishment.
Children are not required to read certain books; they can read any book they would like. Read your favorites from home, check out books from our collection, or sign up for monthly free books from the Dolly Parton Imagination Library at https://imaginationlibrary.com.
As always, feel free to stop by with any questions or call us at 319-988-4217.
