Our Reading Year

Reading Program for Babies and Toddlers

How does it work?

Families with children ages 0-5 are welcome to register. All your family has to do is read 1 different book a day for 365 days!

How do I sign up?

Stop in any time to sign up, pick up your supplies, and get your family photo taken.

How do I check in?

When you reach 6 months in tracking, we will email you to remind to come back for your first prize. When you reach your 1-year mark with 365 books read, you can get your second family photo taken for your “after” shot and a prize.

How do I keep track of all these books?

We will hand you a calendar with blank spaces. You can write your titles, color in the square, use stickers, etc. It’s up to you how you want to use the calendar.

We also recommend Storygraph as a great app for tracking your titles.

What if we forget to read every day?

That’s okay! The point is to try something new, try to start a routine, and focus on family literacy. Sometimes our routines fall apart or we need to do a refresh. As long as you keep trying throughout the year, that’s what matters!
