Congratulations Michael!
1000 Books before
Kindergarten Party!
was held on Thursday, August 22 at 6:00pm
Our 1000 Book Readers who have read 1000 books before Kindergarten 2019-2020 were recognized as super readers by our staff, friends and family.
Library staff members, Gale and Pat (library trustees), Ms. Magnusson and Ms. Harbron (the kindergarten teachers at Northwood Elementary), family and friends of the children came to celebrate as the kids received recognition for their 1000 books read.
It was all about our 1000 Book Readers when Chesley Memorial Library and Northwood School celebrated the fourth year of Northwood’s “1000 Books Before Kindergarten” program on August 22. The event gave everyone a chance to congratulate participants who met their “1000 Books” goal and to recognize all participants entering kindergarten this fall.
Congratulations to all of this year’s 1000 Book Readers: George, Lucy, Thompson, Emma, and Eleanor. It was a lot of fun to share the excitement of reading with our “1000 Book” participants, their families, and our community.
New participants are welcome to register at any time. The program is open to any child from birth to the start of kindergarten. We are looking forward to more names joining them soon!

1,000 BOOKS BEFORE KINDERGARTEN
JOIN THE 1000 BOOK CLUB! The single most important thing you can do to prepare your children to read is to read to them every day. Research proves that children need to hear 1000 books before they begin to learn to read independently. Reading to children will increase their vocabulary and their listening and narrative skills. Reading with children will also help to instill in them self-awareness, confidence and an understanding of their place in the world. The program is sponsored by the Chesley Memorial Library with help from Northwood School teachers. HOW CAN I READ 1000 BOOKS? It’s easy! One book a day for three years=1000; three books a day for one year=1000; ten books a week for two years=1000. WHAT COUNTS? Everything! Every book you read counts every time you read it! Books your child hears in Storytime count. Books that others read to your child count. It all counts! WHERE CAN I SIGN UP? Sign up at the Chesley Memorial Library. We will give you sheets to help you keep count of the books you read. You will receive a book bag when you sign up and will continue to earn incentives as you read your way to 1000 books. WHEN: Today! Register anytime when your child is between birth and five years old. IMPORTANT: Please update your progress at the circulation desk every time you read 100 books! We keep track in a log at the library and update our milestone wall display in the youth area. 1000 book readers will be recognized with their name on the library’s sign and will be invited to attend a special ceremony at the Northwood School next August with recognition from the library staff and trustees, Northwood school teachers and personnel, and Northwood School Board. |
