York County Libraries will hold a 1000 Books Before Kindergarten Midway Celebration from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 25, in the Children’s Library Family Place at Martin Library, 159 E. Market St., York. The event is free and is geared to children from birth through age 5 and their families. The celebration will include storytelling by award-winning author Anthony D. Fredericks and children’s author M.J. McCluskey. The authors’ books will be available for purchase and signing. STEAM stations will be set up in the Family Place, providing hands-on opportunities for families to explore and experiment. Families are invited to register their children for the free 1000 Books program during the celebration. The 2020 session of the program is six months from its graduation ceremony in July, but there is still time to participate, according to York County Libraries director of youth services Paula Gilbert. Additionally, current participants who have reached reading milestones may collect their achievement prizes during the event. Light refreshments will be served. Any questions about the celebration should
be directed to Martin Library youth services staff at 717-849-6942. The 1000 Books Before Kindergarten early childhood initiative encourages parents to read 1,000 books with their children before the children start kindergarten. Families read at their own pace, and the 1,000book goal can be reached done in as little as one year if families read three books per day. The York County Libraries program is an offshoot of a national initiative. Children from the day they are born to the day they start kindergarten can participate. There is no cost, and all that is needed to participate is a free York County Libraries card. Registration is ongoing at local libraries, and families receive a passport to help track progress at each 100-book milestone. When participants reach 500 and 1,000 books, they are awarded special reading incentives at their library. According to Gilbert, staff members countywide can provide parents with book recommendations and tips for engaging children in reading. They also offer a variety of free educational programs and story times year-round. York County Libraries launched the program in 2018 and held its first graduation See Library Celebration pg 3
