Congratulations goes to Maleah Heimes, daughter of Lee and Joan Heimes, Wynot who received her “1000 Books Before Kindergarten” award at the Hartington Public Library. Maleah received a certificate, medal, and a book for her reading accomplishment! She just turned four this fall and is a regular visitor to the fall. Maleah is the 20th child who has completed this program, which means 20,000 books have read read/listened too so far!

This program was developed to instill the love of reading get children ready for school, and to encourage more parent/child library visits. Books are logged 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.
