Congratulations to Anson and Kestin Noecker, sons of Mark and Leah Noecker who completed the 1000 Books Before Kindergarten program this week at the Hartington Public Library. They each received a reading certificate, medal and a book for their reading accomplishment! Anson just graduated from KIdz Korner PreSchool, and wants to be a librarian when he grows up. He will be attending kindergarten in the fall.
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 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 adventure for your child, please stop by or call the library at 402-254-6245.
