The goal is to have read 1,000 books (yes you can repeat books) before your precious one starts kindergarten&#8230; If you read just 1 book a night, you will have read about 365 books in a year. That is 730 books in two years and 1,095 books in three years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:right;font-style:itallic;\">&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/1000booksbeforekindergarten.org\/\" class=\"linkalpha\">1000booksbeforekindergarten.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\tStop by the Children\u2019s Desk to sign up and have your child&#8217;s name put on one of our colorful birds.
