Upcoming Children's Room Programs

One Thousand Books Before Kindergarten! 

The Leach Library is pleased to announce an exciting new reading program. One Thousand Books Before Kindergarten is a nationwide early literacy initiative that encourages families to read to their young children and to use the resources available to them at their public libraries. This program is open to participants birth through age 5. Getting started is simple, come to the Children’s Room to register for the program and get your first reading log. When you finish your first 100 books come show us your log. We’ll give you an achievement stamp, a small prize, and your next log. After you have read 500 books you will receive a special growth chart. Reach 1000 books and you’ll receive your very own library book bag with our special NH 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten logo (while supplies last).
