Enroll your preschool child in our new program, 1000 Books before Kindergarten, generously sponsored by Friends of the Farmington Library.  When you register, you will receive a notebook and your first reading log to record books #1 to #100.

After you have read and recorded 100 books on your list, you will receive your book bag, imprinted with the logo of the program and your next reading log. 

At each visit you will receive a sticker to add to our bulletin board.

Certificates will be given in August for children who have completed the program during the year.  This year’s celebration will be held on Wednesday,  +August 12, 2009 at 10:30 am.
