The Kent District Library's "1KB4K" program was curated to foster reading in children. By reading one book a day, the hope is to see that multiply into multiple books a day, as well as learn and develop literacy skills. The program's goal is simple: have parents and their children read 1,000 books before kindergarten.
While it sounds like a daunting task, reading one book a day for three years, or reading three books a day for one year adds up to 1,095 books! All KDL branches have an activity booklet containing a progress poster and contents to support early learning.
Children are rewarded a sticker to place on their progress poster for every 100 books read. Once the goal of 1,000 books read is achieved, children receive a certificate and book bag.
Youth Librarian Dawn Heerspink spoke with Todd on the benefits and enrichment this program aims to provide to children and parents.
