How do I register my kiddo?

Register in person at your local branch of the Latah County Library District or register online on our 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten page!

How do we track reading?

You can log each 100 book progress through a paper book log (available at your local library) or you can log your progress online on our 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten page!

What are the different milestones?

LCLD celebrates each 100 books read with a sweet and simple milestone incentive. Incentives range from bookmarks to puppets and more! To obtain a milestone incentive, you must check-in at your library.

Can we re-read books?

YES! You can read the exact same book 1000 times if it is exciting to your kiddo! Book choices are chosen to caregiver and child, not library staff.

Is there a maximum age for participation?

This program is ONLY open to kiddos before they enter kindergarten.

Can I count books we read before we signed up?

Nope, books should only be logged AFTER registration. So, parents shouldn't count books they read before they joined 1000 books before kindergarten.
