The "1000" Books Before Kindergarten" program is a reading program open to children from birth to age five.    The goal is to have parents read to their children from the time they are born until they begin school and beyond. 

Participants register at one of the Jackson County Libraries with locations in Jackson, Lakefield and Heron Lake. Each child will receive a book bag, book mark, pencil and reading log packet to keep track of titles read.  Participants receive prizes along the way to their "graduation".   Please contact the library for more information.
