1,000 Books Before Kindergarten Grant from the Notary Club
The Brandon Township Public Library is offering the National Early Literacy Initiative’s 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten again this year thanks to another generous $500 grant from the Ortonville Rotary Club. 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten encourages parents and caregivers to provide positive, nurturing experiences by reading at least 1,000 books aloud to their children before they enter Kindergarten. In as little as 15 minutes
a day, families can build the skills for future school and life success. Sharing books with children promotes a lifelong love of books and reading. Upon signing up, children
will receive a folder with their reading log, recommended book titles, stickers, and a bookmark. Prizes will be awarded after 300 and 600 books are read. Children will receive a free book and a certificate upon completion of 1,000 books. For more details, contact the Brandon Library at (248) 627-1462 or register on site at the youth desk.
