From Mystic & Noank Library:

“1000 Books Before Kindergarten is a nation-wide program focused on early childhood literacy. We are thrilled to be starting our own ‘1KBK’ (as it’s known) program at M&NL!

Thanks to generous funding from the Groton Education Foundation, this program seeks to have parents/caregivers read to their birth-5 child one thousand books prior to the start of formal schooling.

Sound nearly impossible? It’s not! Three books a night for one year is over 1000 books!

Join us on March 25th for an afternoon of FREE and exciting activities and a presentation by author Tish Rabe. Tish Rabe has written over 160 children’s books for Sesame Street, Disney, Blue’s Clues, Curious George, Huff and Puff and many others. In 1996–five years after the death of Dr. Seuss–Tish was selected by Dr. Seuss Enterprises to create The Cat in the Hat’s Learning Library, a new line of rhyming science books for early readers. For more information, visit tishrabe.com.

After Tish’s talk, families can sign-up for the 1000 Books Before Kindergarten program, pick-up their reading logs, and take part in our scavenger hunt. Many of Tish’s books will be available for sale by Bank Square Books (and Tish will be available to sign them), there will be crafts and cookies and a prize basket!”
