Read 1000 Books Before Kindergarten
Visit the Minerva Public Library and sign your child up for this free program to encourage reading 1000 books with your child before he or she enters kindergarten--a goal that experts say will help a child learn to read for themselves.
Reading together helps develop important pre-reading skills that provide a solid reading foundation that can be a key to school and learning success. Besides, sharing books and stories together is just fun!
