This was a fascinating presentation. I am really going to pursue setting up a program at our library. Thanks!
Enjoyed the presentation. We started this program October 1, 2015 with materials from Upstart.
I work at the Ladd Public Library in Ladd, Illinois and am the coordinator of our children’s program. Every Tuesday morning, we have Story Hour which includes reading 2 stories, doing a craft and having a snack. We have an average of 20 children at Story Hour.
I would like to start the 1,000 Books before Kindergarten program at our library but have no idea how to go about it…Please give me information on how to do this.
Thank You
Hi, Cheri,
We have a lot more great resources on the Ideas and Inspiration site (search 1000 Books), and you’ll find a free Getting Started Guide, outreach materials, and reproducibles on our 1000 Book page on demco.com.
Good luck with planning your program!
