Congratulations to Aliza and Adalyn Marsh, daughters of Chris and Kassy Marsh, Hartington. They just completed the “1000 Books Before Kindergarten” program. Both of them received a medal and certificate, a prize and a free book from the library for their reading accomplishment.
Aliza and Adalyn are regular visitors to the library. Some of the girl’s favorite books are Doctor DeSoto and anything about the life of Ladybug Girl. Aliza will be attending kindergarten at HNPS this fall.
This program was launched to instill the love of reading, get children ready for school, and to encourage more parent/child library visits. Books are logged and prizes are awarded along the way. One of the best ways to encourage pre-reading skills is to spend time sharing books each and every day! Reading provides a solid foundation, a key to school and learning success.
When you, as a parent, read to your child, you help him or her develop the skills they will need to learn to read by themselves. If you are interested in learning more about this reading journey for your child, please stop by or call the Hartington Public Library at 402-254-6245.
